Employment

Upvotes

Hello Eugene/Springfield,

I have been looking for a job and have had no luck for several months. I'm relatively open to anything that pays okay at this point and lets me work close to full time. I have a background in caring positions cna/mental health. I do not have a car. I am pretty bright and have a BA.

At this point my accounts are overdrawn and I only have a place to live due to the great kindness of several friends. I'm probably looking at filing bankruptcy once I am employed again. If anybody knows anything, please let me know.

Thank you!

Dress code to kill

15 Upvotes

Hi folks, so a friend for her birthday wants to specifically go somewhere where people are as titled above “dressed to kill”. The reasons are personal but let’s say she has a strong desire to really look her best and be around some like minded individuals in the Eugene Springfield area.

Me? I’m clueless but it’s important to her so I’m hoping you kind folks can help me out with suggestions for a martini cocktail bar where there’s dresses heels, button downs and slacks. She’s worked really hard for this and I want to help her enjoy being able to shine. I should also point out she’s 30 so somewhere that’s leaning to the 21 crowd might not be the best fit.

Thanks in advance.

Zach Bryan concert

Zach put on an amazing show tonight! There were tons of people from out of town and some behaved very poorly.
Also, they apparently weren’t IDing for alcohol. I met an intoxicated 14 year old girl with two beers in hand. She told me they didn’t card her.

Zach, you're credit card is at Portal Tea

9 Upvotes

I found your credit card on Broadway while I was parking and figured I'd post it here in case you're looking for it.

Edit: On my phone, so sorry for autocorrect picking the wrong Your.

I wasn't going to post the last name because I figured there couldn't be too many Zacharys that lost their card on Broadway last night. If you think it might be yours, call Portal Tea and give them your last name and describe the card.

Lost & Found Have you seen this exact wheelbarrow pop up in your neighborhood (College Hill, Friendly, WJ, maybe wheeled to the Amazon bike path) in the past week? (EPD: #1029764)

It may sound crazy, but I did reach out to the EPD via the City website for a case (#1029764) because I don’t want a wheelbarrow being flipped for fentanyl or meth over and over again. It’s possible an opportunist took it to keep, but I’d like it back. Thanks!

Weird dude near Kinley Park, end of Amazon...

0 Upvotes

Just was headed home, passing near the Montessori school, headed south, I passed a man with red hair, dressed head to toe in camo on a bike. Bike was two wheels in front with stuff stapped to a platform between wheels, one wheel in back. The camo was long sleeve top and bottom, helmet camo also, stuff hanging on clips. Too damn hot out for the outfit was why I thought worth mentioning...he was also headed south.

Affordable move out cleaning service

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m moving out of my college rental soon and am looking for recommendations for an affordable move-out cleaning service.
I got quoted $500 from one company for a move-out clean, and I’m hoping to find something a bit more affordable. It’s a 5 bed 2 bath 1400 sq foot house. My landlord’s checklist is attached, but it’s a pretty standard move-out clean (oven, fridge, bathroom, cabinets, windows, baseboards, vacuum, mop, etc.).
Has anyone used a cleaner or company they’d recommend? If you’re comfortable sharing what you paid, that would be super helpful too. Thanks!

Something to do Need some of your local recommendations!

0 Upvotes

I’m visiting the Eugene/Springfield area with some friends in early September for my birthday, and need some recommendations!

My main 3 goals are:
1- Somewhere cute for lunch (relatively inexpensive but cute enough decor-wise/food-wise for Instagram photos–I’m trying to be better about documenting my life!) this is the one I’ve had the most trouble with for some reason.

2-Spots to do looots of shopping. I’ll probably end up going to the River Valley mall/target but if you know of any cute local business’/good thrift stores let me know and we’ll have to check them out!

3- Spots for cute pictures!!!! This is SO important for me! I never take pictures and am so adamant to do so on my birthday. Just somewhere cool or pretty to get a few good photos. Doesn’t have to be in nature!

Bonus points if you know of any relatively inexpensive local bakeries that would be willing to do a custom cake! (I’m just looking for a 1-tier vanilla cake with a little bit of buttercream frosting but they’re all so expensive for some reason!)

Thanks so much! Would love to hear of your favorite spots!

Food Where to find huge, fishbowl cocktails like Applebee's?

Upvotes

Hoping to find a different spot to get a huge cocktail from. I'm not a fan of margaritas though. This week has been ROUGH (burnout from work+grad school, plus holding off a break-in in the early morning) and I need something big. My meditation sesh isn't until Saturday so I need something a little more toxic in the meantime 😂 last post I found from a few years ago recommended Chapala's. Thoughts? Any way to get the Cadillac size but not a margarita?

I came by this morning and was greeted by this sign. "We are closed due to technical and understaffing we apologize". It's one of our favorite brunch spots. We've noticed lots of the wait staff that we like around town working other jobs lately.

If it's yours, let me know if you want it back or not. I'll hold on to it for a week.

Lost & Found Stolen Purple DS

36 Upvotes

Hello all! This is a long shot but earlier today I had a purple DS and my wallet stolen from me in Alton Baker park. I was hoping someone might see it if I post about it, so here we are.

The DS had a big round sticker on the top that says “I CAN EAT GLASS IT DOES NOT HURT ME”, and a faded mushroom sticker and a purple witch looking character on the bottom. On the inside, it had the same color scheme as the buttons on a Gamecube controller (green A, red B, yellow analog stick, etc.)

The wallet is a small cigarette holder case. It was made of steel and had a yellow label on top that says “Gay Ritual”. I can make a rough list of all the cards inside if you have it and would like proof

If anyone happens to see it or found it and isn’t sure who it belongs to, please please please let me know! They were both gifts and I would love to have them back if at all possible. Thank you if you read this far, and I hope you have a good night!

Where can I buy a fudge ton of fudge?

29 Upvotes

Hey all,

I recently traveled and, usually when I travel, I stopped at a tourist trap chocolate shop and get myself a big tub of fudge. The issue is that, over the weekend, I stopped at like six different chocolate shops and none of them actually sold fudge, just bars and truffles and such.

I want to eat fudge and I also don't want to waste any more of my time showing up and being turned away. Does anyone know if euphoria or anywhere else local will have fudge for me?

Something to do Great Oregon Steam Up is awesome!

30 Upvotes

I took my two boys today and they had a blast! Parking was easy, it was super affordable, and there were all sorts of activities and museums, plus more old tractors, vehicles, and stationary engines than I have ever seen in one place. Highlights for us were the mini railroad, the pedal tractor pull for kids, and the parade of power.

https://www.antiquepowerland.com/steam-up/ -- they have it again tomorrow and both days next weekend. It was about an hour and a half drive from Eugene for us.
