I have a job. I got the call last night, and I will be a Port Observer for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife from June 15th until the end of September.
The kicker? I'll be stationed in Gold Beach, Oregon. For those not keeping score on the map, it's about 30 minutes from the California border. It's a little over 6 hours from Portland and a whopping probably 10 hours from Seattle. I definitely won't be going home anytime in those 3.5 months, since I only get two days off at a time, and those two days won't be on weekends.
In doing a web search, I think I found my home away from home in Gold Beach: Gold Beach Books.
In fact, from the looks of it, Gold Beach is a little but thriving place. Hopefully, I won't get too bored. I'll try and just consider it my next great adventure.
