Portland Rocks, part II

The second reason Portland rocks (after the people that live here) is, of course, the people that work here. Everyone knows that my last job, coordinating Orientation Adventure, rocked. So I’ll use a photo essay to show how The Bus = OA = hella tight. On the left is the New, on the right is the Old.

We ride a bus. My new workplace is even named after this bus. For the old workplace the bus is just a means to an end.

Obviously after you load a bus, you gotta give a speech. At The Bus, our fearless leader Jefferson did this. For the OA canoeing trips it was li’l old me.

We take long trips. Fortunately everyone we ride with passes “the airport test” with flying colors, so it’s time well spent.

The bus goes pretty places. ‘Nuff said.

Finally, and you know this can’t be coincidence, we trust birds to drive us.

Q.E.D. The Bus Project is a fun place to work. There’s a few more parallels that involve maps with lots of pins on them, red cups, group hugs and laughter, but I was limiting the photo essay to my own pictures and so not everything has been captured yet…

    All of a sudden I’m thinkin’ the Bus Project could work in California. The photo archive already exists, apparently.
