atotalblamblamI got a job already! The first job I've pursued since I got back here, and I got it today and start on Monday! It sounds really great--I work for a small mom and pop gardening service with 6 to 8 other young people. Casual, good hard work on beautiful properties, some of them rural and up to 30 acres. The other people on the crew sound like interesting traveling types--one girl worked on an organic farm in Maine and then rode her bicycle all the way through Canada and down to Portland! And it pays $8.50 an hour, moving up to $9.00 after the testing-me-out period. Yay!
I also found out that it's possible for me to get free wireless internet, because there's some node thing people have installed on top of this hill that I live at the foot of. Supposedly all I'd have to do is buy the wireless hardware and install it in my computer, and presto, free high-speed internet. We'll see. That'd sure be neat.
I chopped off my hair again a couple days ago and it looks hot if I may be so bold.
I've been rambling around exploring a lot on foot, thanks to this book entitled Wild in the City. It tells about all kinds of lesser-known parks and natural spaces nearby. Several days ago I walked hours to get to this place called Johnson Lake. It was in a really sketchy area behind the glass recycling plant, but it was beautiful, full of ducks and geese and great blue herons. Then I figured since I was that far, might as well go find this "40-mile trail". So I walked out on the trail, and as the sun got low, I found myself on top of a grassy hill surrounded by an expanse of marshy meadow in the Columbia Slough, eating an orange and watching planes take off and flocks of Canadian geese fly by. Lovely.
