April has been good to me! So far, it has provided me with 2 part-time/temporary jobs, 2 interviews at 2 different REI stores, and 2 free tickets to a Trailblazers game!
I will be working for the Census starting next week, when I begin my 4 consecutive days of training. So far I am not too nervous about it considering I'll basically just be walking around our neighborhood here in Portland a couple evenings a week and on the weekends. The job with the Census should be about 20 hours/week and will last for about 2 months, give or take.
The second job is with the 4-H cooperative extension of Oregon State University. I will be working in their office, which is located in a nearby environmental elementary school and will start out at 10 hours/week but could jump up to as many as 20 hours/week depending on grants and other funding. With that position, I'll be working in the office as a support person for volunteers and writing press releases, but also helping out with educational programs.
I won my 2 Trailblazers tickets through SMART, which is one of the organizations I volunteer for. I took Stacie with me. I was a little disappointed that the seats were not court-side (they were just about as far away from the court you could get, actually). It was still really fun being at the game though! I would love to go another time, with better seats and a sign (so that I can get up on the big screen). I told Stacie that I had planned on asking her to marry me at the game so that we could get up on the big screen, she said she is glad that I did not do that and that it would have been embarrassing. I guess she is right.
