But it doesn’t include me. I’ve been busy lately so I haven’t posted anything new. Busy with work. Finally!
I am in my second week of a new job at the Oregon Lottery. It’s a very unique business, and a very interesting one. At this point I am still figuring out what exactly I’ll be doing, so far it seems to start that will be the generic and more tedious tasks. Which frankly is perfectly fine with me as I learn the business.
Being located in Salem I do have a long commute, an hour in the morning and a little more at night. Then there’s the gas. So I am looking into moving further south, to at least get south of HWY 217. Highway 26 and 217 are a mess in the evenings, I-5 on the other hand is perfectly fine. 30 minutes each way on I-5 I’ll be happy with, even within Salem I would have a 20 minute commute and that would be in heavy stop/go traffic. Salem doesn’t sound that nice of a place to live either, not much to do. So I’m going to try and stay closer to Portland.
With this job there are of course people now asking me for tips, tricks, and all that. Don’t ask, I can’t help you. Just look at the lottery website (www.oregonlottery.org), prize and odds charts are on there. The only hint I have for you is to buy a Raffle ticket if it’s not too late. Which after checking the website just now, it is.
I must say though, that I’ve never wanted to play Lottery games more than I do now that I can’t play. But I guess it’s the whole idea of wanting what you can’t have. And I understand it, it would look pretty bad for Lottery employees to win.
