In a recent email that I was cc'd on, my new boss explained to her colleagues that I will be shadowing her on visits to both Washington state, and Oregon early in the fall. This is so great! These are TWO MORE states left on the list. Strangely, one of the states I am most concerned about is Maine. It's awful far north in the Northeast, and I feel like without making a conscious effort to drive 7 hours some time when I am visiting home in the next couple years, I may never get there. NB must make more friends with vacation houses and/or yearly campsites in Maine.
As a side note, my grandmother asked me if I thought I would at least be having dinner at the top of the space needle when I was visiting Seattle for work. I said I probably wouldn't have the time--fearing she would be unable to bear my explanation that this new job in no way carries an expense account or salary figure appropriate for a space needle meal. This could be the opposite of being accused of yuppiedom? No wait, it is instead a strange, misplaced assumption of yuppiedom! Yes, that must be it.
OK I'll let me post the states left to go:
arizona
washinton
oregon
north dakota
south dakota
nevada
idaho
maine
south carolina
hawaii
alaska
alabama
louisiana
mississippi
wisconsin
michigan
minnesota
oklahoma
kansas
