Are you still living up in the snowy mountains, blocked in for the winter? My travel buddy and I will probably head back to Seattle this summer if possible. I'd like to go back to Port Townsend and Anacortes.
I spent 2 1/2 years up in the mountains and when my commitment was done I moved into town instead of going back to the west side. Since I have been in town I have had at least 5 jobs, no make that 6, 7. LOL it is a tough place to find employment, and people usually end up working 2 or 3 jobs. People do not pay enough. I feel like listing them now.
I started out training for night auditor at a hotel that ended up treating people like crap-but I would still say to stay there if you ever came to this town!
Then I worked at a boat storage facility, even closer to my dream to work on a pirate ship! From there I moved into a construction company that paid great, but really there wasn't enough work. I did accounts payable It was quite fascinating to me and I worked in a nice office with nice people, then I got laid off. : ( BUT this moved me in to the funnest summer job ever-I got to work on the boat that transported me up and down the lake for the 2 1/2 years. I worked both on the boat and in the office. I got to see all of the people I knew from uplake and I got to eat lunch in a national park 2 times a week. It was the best.
There isn't much work on the boat in the winter so I was on hold until next season-but I needed a job to get me through winter or at least long term and I could work on the boat on weekends or as needed-that was the plan!
I applied at a veterniarian office and got let go after 3 days-they said I would be too depressed w/ the animals that had to be put down. Right after that the bank called me-and it wasn' t my first choice, but at that point I was ready. And then the pandemic hits and what do you know-I have an essential job! So I feel fortunate. Tho it hasn't been an easy year, like any of us, I still feel fortunate and try to count all of my blessings. Oh-and I found out I have a brother this year-so that was the big major awesome thing. He is awesome.
If you made it to Washington again I would totally come see you! I wish you could see this area. I love it, but it has its downfalls too. It is dry and there are fires, but that is common everywhere now anyway. I may stay here or I may move back closer to family. But I ended up getting a boat club membership, so I can stay at cabins and camp uplake, so there is that bonus.
I do love the snow and am happy that I've got to see some snow this winter so far. Last summer I was gifted a kayak and it saved my ass.
Like as in Bela Lugosi or Bela Swan?
Originally her name was Blea. She was found at the Basic Life Enforcement Academy. I didn't like the sound of that name so I asked for help re-naming her and one of my friends suggested Bela. So that is the story there. I posted pics of her in the MF. She is black and white.
