BUSH DIARY MAY 1999:
Book Report: Memoirs of A Geisha. by Arthur Golden. Wonderful book. Forwarded it to Mom for belated Mother's Day Gift. The story is about a nine year old girl who is sold to a geisha house for 175 yen in 1921. She ultimately lives long enough to own a two floors of a building in New York City. The writing is poetic and I loved the descriptions of the kimono's and the difficulty of getting dressed in them. Update: Mom liked it until she realized it was fiction.
I ordered a CD of Joe Williams. I like the song "When Did You Leave Heaven". Yummy. This had been delayed in a bundle of "X" mail which had stuff from March through May. Ooh handy.
News at work: Our wonderful Pharmacist Christian Duruji has submitted his resignation. He and family may move to Fairbanks. We are back to the TDY situation which is iffy at best.
News from Coquille. Tim has been hired at a local radio station on Sundays to learn the ropes and help produce a show called "Flashback". He is looking forward to it very much. His first paycheck bounced and he had to tussle with accounting to get it straightened out as well as the bank fees. Hmmm.
Tim sent pictures of the kittens two weeks old and not much to look at. Boja has been allowed to get acquainted and she is unimpressed.
One of the kittens is spoken for up here and I will be bringing back a kitty. There are not many kittens here as all the queens get spayed as quickly as possible.
Breakup is in full swing here. Water trucks are going about keeping the dusty roads sprinkled.
Whaling successfully concluded. Barrow was allotted 22 strikes, they landed and butchered eighteen Bowhead whale. The big news up were was the MaCaw tribe in Washington who struck and killed their first whale in 70 years.
Price shocker of the week: This is a very strange item and few people buy it unless they have a dog yard. Bale of straw has been sitting there in AC for quite some time and the price is $26.50 per bale. Sign says Hay but I was born in farm country and I sez it is straw.
Thursday/Friday: Monica, Jessie and Jinky were all gone so I was only me and on other lady in the department. Ugh!!
Stay in Barrow or not? I am debating. Now have house payments. Unsure of job prospects in Coquille. Most of my jobs have lasted an average of eight years. This is year nine for me. Of course I would just go to work one day and get handed a pink slip which happens a lot.
Well, as Scarlet O'Hara liked to say, "I'll worry about that tomorrow". That girl could compartmentalize.
G'night folks.
