Margie Stinson replied to Erik Kendust's discussion Native Floridian headed to Denali. Need help lots and lots of help

"I tried working as a front desk clerk but the 8-hour standing was just too much for me. I would love an office position in Alaska, but they are few and far between. I would appreciate any leads or info anyone has!"

Margie Stinson commented on Leo Anderson's blog post Alaskaahhhhh. . . . . see you in 11 days!

I am still hoping for Seward AK next year, but MPL is another real possibility. We'll see how it plays out. I head for Mesa Verde next Friday ... looking forward to it also. Ranger Rich

At 12:55pm on March 14, 2012, aggie71 said…: Regarding your job hunt .... it would help to call them and see what's up. It also gets your name on top of the list :-)

At 12:24pm on March 12, 2012, aggie71 said…: Great! Well enjoy Austin .... keep it weird. I'll be here for a couple of more weeks and then I head to Colorado for the summer. I'm a Park Ranger at Mesa Verde. Maybe we can get together before then. Ranger Rich
