Your actual Portland resident is a vicious, isolationist prick that absolutely discourages any form of migration to the city. Especially if you came from California.

quote:

In order to graduate in May, 2012 with an associate’s degree in equine science, Kendra was required to get a C grade on an internship. Forty percent of that internship grade rested on a presentation in front of Hanes and Evans.

It did not go well and they didn't mince words in their critique, according to documents obtained by 12 News:

“A struggle to listen to this presentation…”

"This may be the worst presentation ever.”

“Said ‘um’ too many times,” and they complained about her hair.

Hanes informed Kendra that if she did not redo the presentation she would fail.

“This time around ... no red lettering … she’s to speak with confidence … pull her hair back … wear appropriate attire … no ‘umms’ in her speech,” she wrote.

If Kendra could do all that, they wrote, she'd receive a C.

Parton rejected their offer, explaining she had had six classes and was in the middle of finals and the internship. She wrote that she appreciated the opportunity, but didn’t have the time.

they gave her the opportunity to redo her lovely presentation but she refused

We wouldn't be so pissed if our housing market wasn't going ape poo poo. My GF and I make good money, work full time and would never be able to afford a house without making some blood sacrifice.

Last I checked, our housing vacancy rate was 1.7%. You cannot find a decent place unless you are loaded or willing to commute 2 hours.

I went to a suburban public school with one of the highest rates for graduates going on to graduate from a 4 year university and the highest number of kids going on to a Ivy League or US Military academy school. But we had a lovely football team and a local reputation for idiot kids going to school there, while we had a hilariously overpriced private school that had atrocious SAT/ACT scores. Watching rich families freak out and send their kids to the lovely private school based on biased local news articles only for their precious angel to get knocked up/beat up by a 17 year old on parole never got old.

Turns out the family who owned the local paper that kept putting out the articles about how bad our public school was also owned 1/3rd of the private school. Which was given all kinds of tax breaks by taking in "At risk teens" as students who had been booted from the local public schools.
