Thermal Erma: Organic Intern and Dirt Licker

Hazaah! | August 27, 2009

The weather outside is frightful. But organic interns are deelightful!

My boss (we shall call him Richard) was really impressed with the report that I made about worm composting.  He said that it was excellent and told me that he thought that I would be a great asset to the sustainability team here. Yeeeeee!!  I’m ecstatic!  This is just such a huge change for me since I have never worked in an office setting before and I had this fear that somehow I would fall flat on my face.  I’ve always been the girl working odd jobs, like theatre construction, or camp counselor, or envelope stuffer, but now to have a grown up job feels like a big-BIG, you know?  And I suppose that time will tell if I succeed or fall, but right now I’m leaning in the good direction.

So chalk one up to worm composting and farmers markets.  I read this great article about the Obamas today on Grist and thought I would share.   Mr. Prez is going to start a farmers market right outside the white house. Linky! What a fantastic example to set for the rest of the country.  I hope this trend catches on!  More farmer’s markets for all.  Speak of which, the Portland Farmer’s Market of the park blocks is wonderful.  If you live in my neck of the woods, I suggest checking it out sometime. Another Linky! And a pic:

Oooh how pretty!

I had the best tomatos today.  They were grown on the little garden that on the campus of my work.  Like little exploding sunrays in my mouth! Yrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmaaaaa! POOOOWWW!

That’s all for now.
