Well, Day #3 in this grand city hasn't been without its surprises! I went on a nice leisurely hike in Forest Park with a friend I made in Korea (who happens to be in the same just-returned-from-abroad-and-looking-for-work boat as me, so we had a lot to share with each other right now). He was kind enough to think of me a few days ago when, for his own current part-time job, he was visiting an adult day center. He mentioned me to the woman who ran it and she gave him her card to pass on to me to call her. That, in and of itself, was amazing.
It gets better.
Turns out, this woman is the boss of my graduate school friend, who just happened to call me this evening out of the blue. So, long story short, I'm heading there tomorrow morning to meet my friend and her boss, who, in turn, might be able to help me out on the career front. At the very least, let the networking begin! Oh, and did I mention that this lovely woman has already offered to call the woman who runs the senior center where I really, really, realllllly want a job? Couldn't hurt, right?
Let the Portland adventures continue! I LOVE this city!
