Job update...
After 7-8 months of looking for "a real Job," doing temp work, mostly hating it, and not getting paid well, I decided about a month ago to go get a job that i don't hate and still doesn't pay well. This decision being based mostly on the fact that some variables I can control and some I can not. So to my excitement, starting tomorrow I'm working at the local Outdoor Equipment store in town. The pay is low, but the benefits are good: interesting co-workers, flexible schedule, health insurance, and Great discount on gear, etc. I'm very happy about this and just wanted to share... And the timing is great, as i'm planning to go backpacking again in just a few weeks. Yeah!!
