When I called Mark this evening, he was in Forsyth, GA. I asked him to tell me stories I could pass along. He had a really funny one from today… Continue reading

Outside my window
I don’t know if I mentioned that I am working in downtown Portland now and I am able to do all kinds of “People Watching”. Our office is right on the sidewalk behind City Hall, and there are floor to ceiling windows, not only completely around our office (including out to the lobby), but also all across the lobby entrance. So what do I see? Continue reading
Legal!
There have been a couple stressors in my life for a while now, and today I was able to take care of them both in one fell swoop! (Or at least, one fell day.) Part of this involves confession time… Continue reading
Nothing is certain but death and…

Williams-Sonoma has been hiring for several weeks now and everyone they interview wants to work on the sales floor rather than in the stock room, even though we in stock earn $1 more per hour than the sales associates do. Last week they thought they had a couple more people hired to work in stock, but the people never showed up and didn’t even call. Continue reading
Employment
I have been working at Williams-Sonoma for about two weeks now, and today I got my first paycheck. It’s only for the first week I worked, but it’s about as much as I sometimes earned in a two week period at Wagon Trail Campground. Of course, I had an easier job at Wagon Trail Campground and more beautiful surroundings and my bosses and co-workers were like family, so those perks were worth more than money to me.
