Progress

Well, I will be working 2 days a week starting Saturday at the Carlton Winemaker's Studio. Hopefully I will pick up more hours once I am trained and once the busy season starts. Portland has bloomed in the past week and the air is sweet with fragrance from the plum trees that line the streets and rose bushes that can be found almost everywhere. I've been taking extremely long walks, 3+ hours, and trying to clear my head, take some photos, and enjoy my surroundings. The old money worries come back often, but hopefully I will make a little with my new job and progress in some sort of career quickly.

I just have to keep the aspidstra flying.

Some Prospects

Interviewed with Carlton Winemakers Studio, a collective winery about an hour from my place. They really liked me, but they said I was overqualified. I basically told them to let me decide that. I also have an interview with a Sakery (Sake version of a winery) and on Monday an interview with Torii Mor winery, which is pretty well known. Basically I went around to every good winery in the Willamette Valley and gave them a resume. My goal is to work for a few months at two wineries, then start applying to jobs that carry more weight in the industry (or work my way up at the wineries, if there is the opportunity to do so).

So...still no job as of today, but possibly by this time next week.
