This is great. One week in Portland and I am hired!

I am working at the local electric utility (Portland General Electric which is generally considered one of the best places to work around here) in the Corporate Communications department. Today was getting introduced around and learning the ropes. Tomorrow I get to read all the area newspapers, New York Times and Wall Street Journal to look for PGE-related stories. This will be a daily chore. It is only supposed to take a couple of hours in the morning, but we shall see on our first few times.

I heard it is not a good idea to mix the things you love to do with what you get paid to do, but who knows.

Then I get to copy them all into a packet and distribute them to everyone in the department...including the VP. After that I get to do some assorted data entry.

Patagonia has called back about a weekend sales associate.

Tonight, leftover Indian Curry stir fry.
On the menu for tomorrow night's dinner...apple and almond stuffed pork loin chops on the grill
