Hard to survive here
-
2/14/2009
I have been living here for three years. Not my place. Employment has been patchy at best, and most cultural things are in Portland---an hour plus traffic. But it is only an hour to the coast. But nothing nearby. Still, I have felt safe here, and met very nice people. But it is somewhat expensive, and boring. Very, very boring. And a bad economy. I am looking to leave soon. School here is very expensive also, which makes a career change or new training out of reach.
