The interview
Went well. I hope I get this job, I would basically be designing and implementing a tasting room from scratch. I felt as though I got the job, but he had a stack of resumes, so here's hoping that I'm the one. I find out next week.

Interview at a sustainable, low yield winery in the Willamette Valley. Tasting room and internet sales manager. This is pretty much the job I came out here for, so cross your fingers for me.

The job search
It's not supposed to happen like this. I'm supposed to get interviews. I'm supposed to get callbacks. Not one company or person has responded to my emails. Ok, that's a lie. One winery wrote back saying they hired the person for the position that I applied for. But that's one winery. I must have applied to over 50 jobs at this point. This is getting ridiculous. I'm giving it till April, then if nothing happens, I'm moving back east.

Everyone has a story, pt. 2
At a concert on SE Morrison St., Portland
A 21 year old Marine, discharged for medical reasons. He tells me of things he knows that has led him to hate the war. He tells me about a weapon called 'fire and forget' that costs $100,000 and can only be used once. He tells me that they play with these weapons like they are waterguns. He tells me of a gunship that can cordon off an area and then destroy everything within the perimeter. He tells me of an Afghan village where they used this because an old woman yelled at an American soldier. An. entire. village. destroyed. He tells me that he wants to become a Buddhist and that he is going to walk cross country from Virginia to Washington over the course of 10 months in order to be alone with his thoughts. There is something peaceful about this man.
