Isn't this job open all the time?

 

Pretty much, and I think they've interviewed everybody out West at least once. Hell, I interviewed out there.

 

I thought the western side of Oregon was nice?

 

it's very nice clever.

 

It's nice, but Brookings is the SW corner of Oregon -- two hours to Grants Pass (closest "city"/I-5 onramp); four hours to Mt. Shasta, and almost five hours to Redding or Shasta Lake.

It may be pretty on the coast/101, but it's also pretty isolated.

 

I wonder if somebody backed out, or they froze the position for a spell, because I know this has been posted recently. The pay isn't bad, and if you could work your way to Bend, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

They made a hire. Guy apparently chose a twice weekly over a daily

 

bend is utopia?

 

only if you can stop in Eugene and get good weed on the way

 

hell, go straight to the source ... humboldt county.

 

I did some camping and hiking in that region last summer. Beautiful. Isolated (which is a good thing, as far as I'm concerned), but beautiful.

 

The twice-weekly may have offered more money and better bennies than the daily.
