Hey Calgary just scored in overtime. They deserve to win the Cup - they beat Detroit, so they've gotta be good, right?
I had an interview today for a seasonal position on a "stewardship crew" - essentially more exotic plant management and environmental restoration. Ends up it takes an hour to get there - yikes! But I figured if it was a good job, I could deal with it.
The entire parks and recreation department for this township consists of three people and their program is in its infancy. The funding to hire an entire "crew" fell through; consequently, they would only be hiring one, maybe two people. They wanted it to be full time but gave the disclaimer that they might run out of money and it would switch to part time in the middle of the summer. Also, lots of evening and weekend work.
The interview went quite well and I think I have a decent shot at the job - except for my concern regarding how many hours I would be working, and how much I would be paid. To drive an hour each way and only work 20 hrs per week seems excessive, especially if it doesn't pay well. For that reason, they may not choose me because the job and my needs don't seem to fit well. Even if I get offered it, I will probably turn it down. Ah well, they were great people with an excellent program and at least it was an interview!

My older friends play on a beer-league softball team and I love cheering them on. They're actually really good, too! So yesterday I was all set to whoop and holler for my boys... and the game got rained out. What to do on a Wednesday evening??
Call Heather, of course. Us bad girls have to stick together, ya know?
I went to her friend's house - a guy I don't really know - and it was like a high school reunion! I usually avoid anything that has to do with high school or No-ville, but we put in Pirates of the Caribbean... Yeah, my friends have this thing for pirates. Arrrrrr matey! I just have a thing for Johnny Depp. I think it's the mascera. ;)
Pirates and booze go hand and hand, of course, so we passed around the Captain while the girls talked dirty to the larger-than-life Jack Sparrow cast upon the screen from a projector TV. Then we had to leave.
But I wasn't bored or tired! It's only 1 am on a Wednesday night - lets hit a bar!
Heather and I staked our claim at the Library Pub and watched obnoxious "how are they 21?!" type girls giggle and blush at muscle-bound meat heads; apparently we don't attract those types of boys. Thank goodness. We'd eat the poor things alive. Man eaters we be... Arrrrrr!
Yeah, we shut the Library down. Who am I supposed to do that with when/if she moves?! Heather, don't leave me!
So tomorrow, we will be sitting in our bikinis and cultivating some cancer cells near the pool, talking about men and jobs and being sarcastic and cynical.
Ok, this wasn't the most exciting journal entry for ya'll in cyberspace to read, but I was bored. ;) The photo was when Brian, Steve and I attempted to climb Mt. Adams in Washington, taken at sunrise.
