Life in Hillsboro Oregon

This was the most exciting thing I saw all week now that I am living Monday-Friday in Hillsboro, OR. I am on a "temporary assignment" here for the doughnut factory. It's a very different job than I had before and the work is plentiful, so much to do and I need to do it quickly. I was waiting for my take out indian food Thursday night and came across this sign which I quickly sent to Mistycans. Funny? Oh yeah!

Hillsboro is rainy and cold. There isn't much of anything really to go see or do. Went out to a company dinner last night in Beaverton (I said beaver!) and that was good food but again, the land of strip malls and mediocrity. The traffic is completely bonkers as well. I never realized getting around or into Portland from the 'burbs was such a pain in the ass. Bumper to bumper the whole way. And if it's raining or should I say, WHEN it's raining, even worse. Today is nice though. A little sun and not quite so dark.

The hardest thing is not seeing Miss B. We talk on the phone every night but that's about the extent of all we have time for in our busy apart lives. Oh, we do have breakfast together over the phone too. But it's going to be like this for a while. How long I am not sure. But for now, I will be flying back to San Francisco every weekend so I can see my lady and our 3 cats.

Everyone here is absolutely Oregon Duck crazy!
