my one friend who has bought a house in the past few years had one agent who was bad and yelled at his wife and made her cry. then they switched agents and got a good one but she is not an agent anymore or has moved or something. i'm gonna ask my boss if he knows anyone.

i'm feeling a bit panicked bc 2 months ago there were lots of pretty houses in the area we want, for good prices, and now there are none for less than $450k. hopefully this is just a spring/summer trend and they'll drop back down a bit next fall?? we can't buy anything for at least 7 months anyways, bc it looks like (fingers crossed) ytth will be starting a new job soon.
but we're gonna go look at 2 open houses today bc a. i love looking inside houses b. i REALLY REALLY love looking inside houses

ruby, he doesn't like the neighborbood (too industrial) and he doesn't think it will have high resale value. but i love the industrialism of my neighborhood, and i don't want to sell my house so who cares about resale values? i want a place to live, not a place to sell!
― lxy, Monday, 23 April 2012 01:19 (twelve years ago) link
it didn't see all ~that~ industrial to me?!? and it's so adorable!!!
we looked at 3 places today, all out of our price range, but one of them was INSANE - it had those cute old fashioned fire burning stoves in like three rooms, a HUGE fully landscaped garden with fountains and shit and an outdoor hot tub and this completely weird 'viewing room'. it was about twice what we could afford but it was fun to see how the 1% lives.
― smoove operator, Monday, 23 April 2012 01:41 (twelve years ago) link
it IS adorable! but also pretty industrial. it's zoned industrial, there's a factory at the end of the block, warehouse behind, business across, etc.
that's why it was so hard to buy, too. no one would lend for the property cuz of the zoning. but that's why i wanted to live here!!
― lxy, Monday, 23 April 2012 02:27 (twelve years ago) link
I will never be able to afford a house :(
Harbl yes federal district court. I've always been kind of interested in serving it I'm nervous about missing work bc it's kind of a bad time to be out so I don't really know what I want.
― tehresa, Monday, 23 April 2012 03:56 (twelve years ago) link
chances are you will not be picked anyway! and i agree lxy's house is great wtf realtor. i am glad i live in baltimore (now i am because it's not that hot yet) bc i think i can safely pay under $150k. i could not ever afford one in california! but i am not glad because property taxes are crazy here.

I was not a chosen one! Maybe bc I said I previously worked as a paralegal when they asked about any legal experience. The white noise thing is weird!!!
― tehresa, Monday, 23 April 2012 21:41 (twelve years ago) link
Harbl, there are houses within a 30 min train ride of downtown sf for under 150k. Not the greatest houses or the greatest neighborhoods, but livable.

i finally did have a jury trial and i won. i was pretty nervous and did not do a stellar job but i was lucky to have one of the dumbest prosecutors.

harbl, may i encourage you to take an express to boston this weekend during your staycation? we've got some fun planned.
― lxy, Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link

― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 11 May 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link

― lxy, Thursday, 24 May 2012 23:22 (twelve years ago) link
did you start with how to hide a hair scrunchie up your sleeve.
― estela, Thursday, 24 May 2012 23:22 (twelve years ago) link

― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 24 May 2012 23:30 (twelve years ago) link

harbl i think i am going to a baseball game in baltimore this weekend. can you encourage me to believe this is a good idea?
― tehresa, Monday, 25 June 2012 11:53 (eleven years ago) link
harbl, there's a series of summer musical movies being previewed during this Japanese animation series i'm going to and it makes me smile and think of you every time Ricki Lake belts out "I love you Baltimore!!"

i went to a baseball game with my boss on opening day. it was ok. i had fun. also i love hairspray! the movie not the substance

it's not official yet but i might be getting a promotion without a raise
― spite n ease (harbl), Monday, 23 July 2012 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
uh. rah?
― jaq, Monday, 23 July 2012 23:17 (eleven years ago) link
i was in an epic battle with one other person who wanted the position and he was like eh i have a babby so he gets to be closer to home and i probably get to do some felonies in big girl court now (not big ones just like burglaries and possession w/ intent to start). but the big boss is on vacation so it's not clear what exactly will happen. might be a raise in the spring because a really old person is retiring. i'm scared bc i have serious impostor syndrome though.

I have been having a lot of that myself lately :( Promotion I got in March has turned into a scary big job w/ lots of people after me for stuff and having to keep track of people and what they are doing in far away lands and now i am getting employees and omg too much stuff to deal with.
Bu t I encourage you to keep at it because you are no imposter!
