oh eugene, how do i love thee!
yeah, so the job market sucks here in eugene, big time.. and everyone i know is living far below the standard of living they could be living other places, cause the job market sucks so!
but oh eugene..
one reason people love it here...
right now, i'm getting dressed for fellowship. its THAT late already, and i got an extra hour.
grab my dress.. comfy, found at goodwill. everyone loves it, even at the straight laced place i used to work.
but no tights to be found.
thats okay, i'll just throw on my pants that are the same colour as the tights..
socks. need socks.
can't find any but my mulit-coloured-calico acorn socks.
back east, any place else, i'd be horrified. could't do that. would rather go sockless. but no. this is eugene.
i've now happily donned my little dress, my pants i've been wearing day after day (cause they are the only ones small enough to make me feel properly skinnier than i was a year ago), and my calico-socks.
over the socks? birkenstocks, what else??
and you know what? no one will say a thing, bat an eye, look the other way.
cause its eugene. and in eugene we get to wear whatever it is we want.
yeah, dig-it, makes the crappy job market worth it :)
