eleven days?

duh duh duh, duh duh duh...
..."you are now working, in the twilight zone".

I am assuming that you meant you will be working an 11 day week once all the hours that you work in a week are tabulated. Like it would equal out to 11 eight hour work days.

I haven't seen Big Fish yet. I will have to since everyone says that it is so good. Don't spend all of your money in one place.

No traffic, 40 minutes from Hillsboro (west-side extremity) to Gresham (east-side extremity). About 30 minutes from North to South (state-line to Lake Oswego)

There's about 2-3 million in the Portland Metro Area.

It's fairly large, but at the same time, one can easily get most places by walking downtown and taking bus, or MAX (The light-rail that runs through town.

Obviously, there are different parts of town, where there might be some delelict buildings, but Portland in general is not a city in disrepair.

There literally is no major traffic aside from regular trafficky times like morning and afternoon rush hours (only about two hours, tops). Other than that, there's not a whole bunch of traffic. It's not a "city that never sleeps" so there's not this 19 hours of congestion like in LA or whatnot.

Portland is fairly well laid out, if you mapquest it, you'll see that for the most part, Downtown (NW Portland, inner SW Portland) and most of the town east of the river is all gridded very well, so it's really easy to find your way around there. When you get to the SW suburbs, and into Beaverton and Hillsboro, the grid system fails miserably, but if you purchase a Thomas Guide, and drive around for a month, you'll get the hang of it. The highways are fairly well laid out. The Marquam bridge that connects US 26 to I-405 to I-5 to I-84 (:eek Is a marvel of automotive engineering, and the view of Portland that it gives is simply amazing.

The motto that's on the side of all the city vehicles is "Portland: The City that Works". It's true. It's very clean, green, and photogenic.

Parking can be somewhat of a hassle in certain parts of town during certain parts of the day, but it's nothing that doesn't come naturally with urban-denisty living. Unless you're living in NW Portland, parking close to your residence won't be a problem.

what is it you assist in operating?

I don't understand why there aren't any more folders@home. I might start a new thread sometime. Next week, I'll have to get some exciting wording for it.

You're right, it is disappointing. It's so easy to do. Bah, I'm preaching to the converted. I'm glad you gave me the link.

Good Luck!

Haha. I'm still holding out for a 'Commie Pinko and Proud' T-shirt.

Happy Humpity hump day!

to make a mistake you have to be fully prepared to deal with any and all consequences of that mistake. quite frankly you havn't had tons of time to makethem. Go pursue something. for the sake of doing it. You'll get really scratched up.

Hope you feel better soon...

Hugs to you.

Thanks for the tip on Guerilla Black Its amazing how he sounds exactly like Biggie.

Call him Radar. Or Champ.

Like Caspian said, you can't give yourself a nickname. I was given the name Hotpockets. I don't ask people to call me hotpockets.

Call him "Speed" in an irritating kid voice like on Speed Racer, that should drive 'em to suicide or at least to quitting
