hey

so first thing.. I did this video a few days ago..

Follow up: The five days of rain turned to two and a half. The rain we got was more of a mist most of the time. Everywhere else got some weather. Portland got snow, Vegas.. snow. Malibu… snow. Phoenix… mist??? ugh

Second thing is that this week my manager told our team about a QA job that opened up within the company. She urged me to apply – so.. being bored with my current position, but not really caring if I end up with the job or not.. I applied.

Quality Analyst. I would go over incidences and calls.. ensuring top quality. That’s the basic idea.

Not my ideal job if I could pick any job – but it would be a change – and good to have on my resume. Expanding my options and talents a little more.

I sent in my resume on Thursday (the deadline) and my appointment was quickly scheduled for Friday (today). I had the interview during my normal shift – but I’m not really sure how it went. I didn’t have any nerves until 12:59 (interview at 1) – it was weird. Then during the interview I didn’t feel like I normally would. I kinda just went with it. I didn’t prepare for the interview – but any interview practice is also good to have. I’m not sure if I’ll get it – and it doesn’t really hurt my feelings either way.

I would have liked to try something new, but if it comes – it comes. If not.. I move on.

Last night the Blazers played the Suns – the Blazers won 🙂 We snapped an 11 game losing streak to them. It felt so good to win against them.

and Brandon Roy had 52 points.

All of these Suns fans at work gave me a hard time until today. Those same Suns fans asked me what Rip City meant – I wasn’t totally sure. They asked if it meant we rip other teams. I knew that wasn’t what it meant. I looked it up and gave them an answer. Today, after the game last night .. they all disappeared.

Rip City baby.

That’s the last thing I’ll touch on… Rip city.

The term was coined by the team’s legendary play-by-play announcer Bill Schonely during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Blazers’ first season. Schonely explained that a three-point play by Blazers’ player Jim Barnett caused the net on the basket to rip. Schonely exclaimed “Rip City!” at the sight, and a member of his broadcasting team urged him to run with that as a rallying cry for the young team.
