iSky, one of those outsourced call-center outfits, has an office here in Bend. They’ve been advertising pretty heavily in print, radio, and on local TV about how they have seasonal jobs opening up for the holiday season. Barney just tipped me off that he saw an ad on TV for them that stated its criteria were “Excellent spelling and grammer” [sic] . Barney was nice enough to call them and point that out to them.

Bend Oregon is the hillbilly capital of the west. It’s the worst place on earth
Actually, Bend Oregon is one of the most beautiful places on earth. There’s a reason that it’s featured in hundreds of national magazines every month. It’s the best place on earth, and “hillbillys”
few and far between.
If you can say Bend, OR is the worst place on earth, you obviously have never lived there – no matter what your spelling or grammar scores are. The weather is second only to San Jose, CA in my book and I have lived in 21 states in the USA
