Got a phone call today regarding a job I applied for several weeks back. The bad news, its government work; the good news, its outdoors and it pays 13.58/hour; thats, honestly, 65% more than I'm making now. Scary, eh? Anyways, the position is with a survey crew studying amphibians all over the northwest, with the USGS, and get this, on the phone ( Read more... )

So, I've officially been bumped up to a new position. Actually, its the same position, but with a new focus. I'm assisting the vet with animals in the mornings, now. Its gonna be interesting. I feel kinda bad, because while I'm training for this I've just scheduled an interview for a field position on the Oregon coast with The Nature ( Read more... )

Ok, so today was the first of my three-day weekend. Ashley and I are going down to Ashland for the Shakespeare festival. Yay. She got free tickets to four different plays through work. I'm so stoked. Unfortunately the only Shakespeare play they are doing this winter is A Winter's Tale (did we read that at Whitman, Shit?). I'm very much ( Read more... )

Haven't really written in my journal in a while. I've been really busy lately. Put in 30 OT hours in the last two weeks. The paycheck should be nice. Especially since I just bought a new computer! Thats right, I just bought the new MacBook Pro, Apple's new laptop with an Intel chip. Won't get it for another month, but I'm so stoked about it ( Read more... )

Please take a few moments if you can and send a letter to the Idaho Fish and Game to try and stop them from doing a large-scale killing of the recently returned gray wolves. For more information visit:

I'm applying for a higher up position in the organization I work for now. Its the first time I've ever written a Letter of Interest. Don't know what to say, or how to say it, so I winged it. Is winged a word? I don't think "I wung it" sounds right. I hope the position hasn't been filled yet. Find out today, I suppose. Not much else new going ( Read more... )

Hey Walla Walla folks, whats the game plan for new years? I hear murmerings of heading west, any truth to them? I'm trying to make my plans, and, if you guys are coming over, my plans are made. I'd love to see you, and I get Sunday off! We could play some poker or something...

Happy birthday Ca!!!

Missed Walla Walla this weekend, and was (am) very upset. All my planning and preparation was for nothing. In a way though, I'm kinda glad I didn't go, cause I woulda been stuck like the Donner party on Sunday. Traffic on I-84 was, quite literally, stopped (and I mean NOT moving) for over two hours yesterday. Ashley talked to someone who came ( Read more... )
