nullisnotzero: I’m seriously ready to turn in my 2 weeks, get my land in Pendleton, and start “managing” goats.  It’d be way more satisfying than managing people… That farm market next to the Waterloo Outlets is for sale.  Let’s buy it?

nullisnotzero: The perfect spot for someone to visit when they turn 27! Who, me? But obviously I’m not unemployed and living at my mom’s house on my 27th.  Obviously.

Oregon unemployment rockets past 12% for highest...
jaredm: buchino: “Oregon’s unemployment rate has now risen in each of the last 14 months,” the Employment Department reported, “dating back to January 2008, when the rate was 5.3 percent.” Pass it on: Quit moving to Portland — unless you are able to provide employment for 1+ person.
