ALD #1 @ 10:54 PM

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

in the world of PLDs, the "equal and opposite" is ALDs (AWESOME life decisions).

I made one, and it came to fruition today, so I thought I'd share.


As you know, I recently relocated to Portland, Oregon. I love it here! The job market is not so hot lately, and ALL of my work experience is in either Barista-ing, or Outdoor Education (primarily the latter). Needless to say, my value in the world of work is slim. 

So, I started thinking of great local businesses that I was passionate about: Stash Tea, about a MILLION microbreweries, and outdoors companies like Columbia Sportswear. So, I started applying to them, kind of on a whim.


Imagine my surprise when Columbia Sportswear called me in for an interview! You are now reading the blog of the newest employee of Columbia. I'm so excited to start working for Columbia, because I grew up using their gear, and I'm really passionate about the company and their mission.

I start on Monday! Let the games begin!!!
