So I hinted at the idea that I have a job in that other entry. Not just any old job, like BLAHretailBLAH. Another fire job! My next adventure will be spending the next 5 months in South Carolina doing prescribed fire. I just found out last week, and they'd like me to start really really soon... like, I'd have to leave in a week. I'm going to ask for a few extra days though to try and tie up at least a few loose ends (I have a habit of having lots of those, it seems). It's weird to think I'll be somewhere "warm" and practically void of snow - I guess they sometimes get some flurries, but it was 70 degrees there today, for example. Figures that I get into snowsports, and I move where there is no snow. :)
I'm obviously very excited, sounds like this time I really get my own room, free rent, and - best of all - I get to bring my pet turtle Wilbur! I know it sounds silly but I had to send him to Steve's for over a year last year so he could be a foster turtle-parent. I've had Wilbur for 14 years and hated leaving him. :) I'm also about 2 hrs from Myrtle Beach = cheaper airfare. Now ya'll really don't have a good excuse to not visit me!!
Plus, I started reading "Looking for Alaska" by Peter Jenkins and it's making me want to head West - way, way West! - to Alaska again. I've thought about it ever since freshman year of college and I know that some day, I'll move there. It would drive me nuts to think about it and not at least give it a try! Who wants to move with me?
So that's the job news. Still much more to write about, but hard to make up for weeks of slacking off in this journal.
Oh yeah - where the heck did all the snow go?! Dammit!
