Snot
A piece of snot has just fallen from my nose and hit the table with a loud crash. This epic events begs several questions.
1. How long has the snot been sitting at the tip of my nose, so that a tiny exhale sent it flying with great force out of my nose onto the table?
2. How many people saw the snot sitting at the tip of my nose?
3. Why is my snot so dry it can make a clink when it hits the table?
4. Is there anything else hanging from my nose?
4. answer: not anymore. took care of it.
So let's talk while we're on the subject. Because I've been having a lot of problems recently. Allergies. They are horrible in Wyoming. I can't stop snotting and sneezing - and I don't even have allergies.
Let's also talk about pink eye. Because as you may or may not know, pink eye causes a lot of snot. I found this out while in Peru. I'm guessing I got pink eye from communal hot baths that we went to. Because the day after visiting these baths I got the gross conjunctivitis. A lot of the eye being glued shut and a lot of snot. I have no idea why I would have gotten it from here....
But Christina took care of me like a good sister and followed the recommendations from this pink eye website that she found. "Sometimes it can be a challenge to get kids to tolerate eye drops several times a day. If you're having trouble, put the drops on the inner corner of your child's closed eye — when the child opens the eye, the medicine will flow into it...Cool or warm compresses and acetaminophen or ibuprofen may make a child with pinkeye feel more comfortable. You can clean the edges of the infected eye carefully with warm water and gauze or cotton balls. This can also remove the crusts of dried discharge that may cause the eyelids to stick together first thing in the morning." eeeewwww. She even sang me a song while she put the eye drops in. Of course this is also during the time I was rubbing her back and wiping her mouth while she projectile vomited.
Traveling can be so fun. And so can blogs about gross stuff. Sorry about this post.

You should hire me...
Right after deplaning in Jackson after three months down south, I learned that I didn't really have my job anymore. You know, I still have it, but just not really. The job that I moved back to Jackson for. The job that I was with the understanding that I would still have when I got back. The job that I basically molded with my own hands.
This news came as more of a causal side note, made by my cousin and previous employer, than a statement made with gravity, as it should have been. There just isn't enough money to pay me...
So with that news I am jumping back into the ever exciting job search that is Jackson Hole. Now let's recap...
I can't work for Eddie Bauer, or JoJo's Cafe - been there and done that and quit prematurely. whoops.
As a rule I should probably stay away from all women's clothing stores. They all seem to be old lady and depressing. I'm also not allowed to apply at the animal adoption center. Or adopt a dog for that matter.
Rejection can be a bitch, but there's no harm in trying twice. I'll probably apply to cloudveil again and maybe teton mountaineering. and Shades - a coffee shop. I stalked Shades for a while. I will probably do it again. Making my daily telephone call to see if they are hiring. and I'll probably go in with my resume at least twice.
So here I go again. I've started the job hunt! With the energy and enthusiasm that is a reflection of how excited I am to get a new job! Well, I will start the job hunt. Very soon. So far I've kinda worked on my resume. Opened the telephone book to find potential employers, filed a claim for my sunglass lenses, ordered new bike locks for my car, went to the Driggs music on main, thought about signing up with Netflix - weighed the pros and cons, sat in the park for 2 hours, oh...and started to blog again.
now although this picture is a reaction to the 8 Dutch people Christina and I were stuck with for 5 days on our hike to Machu Picchu, I feel it can be applied to this situation too.
