Hello Portland Oregon



I had learned Craig’s way of living.  He used to be a chef but then was having issues which caused him to stop working.  He was getting Section 8 and the rent was $9.00 a month which the landlord never came to pick up.  Basically Craig was staying there for free on the 2nd floor in a 2 family house.  Craig was also waiting for disability.   I was also introduced to his Himalyan Siamese cat Buster.



So, now that I was in Portland/Vancouver, it’s time to look for a job after I settled in.  It felt strange on looking for work in a new state or new area that you never been before.  Even though we lived in Vancouver, I would still need to go in and out of Portland for work, unless of course I find a job right in Vancouver.  Once thing I hate is applying for work especially filling out those application forms.  I wish there was a button on the computer where you could click and it will automatically click into the blank entries of the application forms. Well, maybe someday it will.

I knew that I had to find a job somewhere, and wanted to and wished that I had a job straight away.  I even looked at a grocery store and there were two interviews but there wasn’t any call backs, and that was around 2007 during the Christmas holidays.  I would have thought they would need me during the busiest time of the year considering I left the grocery store back in Arizona.  I wasn’t sure why they never called me back but also at the same time I had a hunch that they called my last job which I put in my 2 weeks’ notice but had left a week early because of the flight.  I never liked that grocery job back in Arizona because they were decreasing my hours down to 12 hours a week and I couldn’t afford that.  I was disappointed on no call back.
