Flicks...

One of the many really awesome things that Portland has to offer is during the summer months on Fridays, they have Flicks On The Bricks!  Which is at Pioneer Square (downtown), they put up a huge screen and you sit in your camp chairs or lounge across the brick steps. 

Now, since this is held on Fridays, I was concerned I was not going to get the chance to go.  Last Friday I was lucky enough to have it off.  So I called up a few friends and headed downtown.  This week there were showing Despicable Me.  I hadn't seen this movie, so I was super excited!

 The movie was cute and all the kids there had a great time!  After the show my friends and I walked to a bar that one of our other friends was playing at.  We had a few drinks and when they closed we went bar hopping! All in all this was an awesome day! 

Another Term...

Well this past week another term has ended...I just finished up with Cost Control and Purchasing; and  Communications.  When this term started I was stressing over my Costing class because it was a lot numbers and this is the basis on how your operation will run.  VERY IMPORTANT INFO!  Let me just say, this class is one of my favorites so far!  I learned so much!  We had to do this project where you come up with an idea, you have to discuss all the details from the ceiling to the floor.  Each week for 6 weeks there was a new part added.  Each part was graded and then on the last week you had to turn in a portfolio of all the work.  I am pretty stoked to say that I got 100% on all 6 part and on the over all portfolio!  YAY!  I also finished out my communications class with an A as well!  I want to keep the A's rollin'! 

CARE Champ...

At work, we have a program called CARE Champion of the Month, which is like an employee of the month.

  Anyway, I was nominated and I had to wait until our monthly meeting to find out if I won.  On August 28th we had our CARE Rally (monthly meeting) and I won CARE CHAMP!  YAY!!! 

The board they post near the time clock

They make a huge deal out of it and take your picture, a framed award, a copy of the letter that you were nominated,

The letter

 a parking spot (I don't have a car here so that part just makes me laugh, my friends park there so it's cool), paid day off, $50.00 cash, you get a characture drawn of yourself, and of course bragging rights. 

 After you win CARE Champ of the month you are in the running for CARE CHAMP of the YEAR!  BIGGER BUCKS!!  So guess what I am shooting for? 

 Yeah that's right I want to bring home the CARE CHAMPION OF THE YEAR AWARD!

Funny thing when I got off work that morning of the meeting I went to school and then had to waste some time between school and the meeting.  The meeting started at 2PM and I was out at 1050AM.  Long story short I got to the meeting and then took the max home.  I think I finally got to sleep at 4:30PM.  I have to be up by 815PM at the latest if I want to shower (which I do, because of my long days).  I set 5 alarms, I knew I was exhausted!

The picture they took to use for the charature

 Well, I slept through all 5 and I even turned them off.  Way to go!  My supervisor calls me at 1015PM, I have to be AT work at 10PM, and ask where I was.  HAHAHA that phone call woke me!  I had to wait for a max and I was 1 1\2 hours late for work!  GOOD JOB!  Way really show the staff at the hotel I earned CARE CHAMP of the Month by showing up late!  Ahh...
