Moving Day

(not that there's anything wrong with that, just askin)

are you really gonna move w/o a job lined up, tza??

i don't have a job here after may 13 and it's cheaper to live there, so yeah.

also it's hard to find a job when you're not there. experience teaches me that hiring parties generally think out of towners are too much work. i might line up temp legal stuff just as security, though.

i don't have a job either because the job i had last summer doesn't hire w/o bar results but i am exploring other options

shit t siv i've moved a half-dozen times w/o a job (though not w/ the type of shit that's going on right now)

harbs did u pass the bar??

yes out of town job searching seems impossible unless you are looking at mega firms who recruit. but i am not.

i am taking it in july jergs

good luck!

usa

otm
oh shit harbski ur gonna pass no problem i am not *even* sweating it

i get laid off for a month starting june 15th and i am trying not to count down the days

i am counting down the days because i am bored a lot at work.

jergins, maybe we can hang out in our jobless time!

i am moving in 20 days

kind of scared though like what if it sucks

that would be a concern when you move to a sucky place

About 344,069 people are unemployed and looking for work in Washington, the third record month in a row and topping last month's record 330,572.

Seattle's unemployment rate jumped an entire point to 8.8 percent -- topping the rate during the dot-com bust. The Seattle rate is the highest of all the months on record going back to January 2000.

cut it out

yeah.
it's still cheaper there!

While Maryland's unemployment rate remained well below the national rate of 8.5 percent in March, the 6.9 percent state rate was the highest since 1992, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

BE AFRAID EVERYONE

you are a hell of good googler though, i will give you that

i am leaving a state that had 9.7% unemployment in march

also jergins i am curious what places you don't think suck

they don't actually break it out by burough do they?

lol i have been to 3 of those places :(

i don't know how you would since i imagine most people work in different boroughs than they live.

what is that a list of, jergs?

i believe they do keep borough stats but not neighborhood

ha, i just put that out as lazy zing bait

can't wait til i move away and get to make wburg jokes, too.

hey harbs i was jk about baltimore sucking. i have no idea. i've spent all of three days there, as a tourist. i think it might be kind of an interesting place. i have no idea. urban exploration? lots of brick? heart of the east coast? hey a city's got john waters and matmos and amon repping for it, it can't be bad, right? great ballpark there. massive abandoned factories. birthplace of babe ruth. i'm into it.

lol @ face saving attempt

it's ok jergins.

i was there for like 12 weeks last summer and i found it didn't suck or not suck, it's just a place to live. i liked my job ok and people in the office didn't seem miserable or overworked. i don't wanna live somewhere really cold anymore (e.g. where i grew up) or in the south (too hot and southern). also relatively cheap. and i think i am just a permanent east coaster. the midwest bothers me. it is really windy and people are weird and kind of annoying. anyway i'm not looking for some place people idealize like portland or something. i just wanna live somewhere average. like sort of good but sort of bad!

i don't care if you say it sucks anyway. i was just wondering because it seems like a place you would like.

i also considered milwaukee and philadelphia but eh. milwaukee is like a much colder version of cbus, which i am not that excited about to begin with. philadelphia the office i was looking at is not hiring any recent grads this year because of $$$. oh well! also i had an interview for prestigious nyc job and was sort of relieved when they didn't like me :)

We moved yesterday (phase 1). Today I can barely move at all.

Congrats on new very own apartment! Also car!

we are moving this week!!!

ended up not moving but i got keys.
car got totaled before it ever got here ;_;
congrats jaq and smoove!

since we were talking about fancy soap on this thread, i got some new soap and it smells ok but the smell is stuck on me now and i'm afraid i smell like an old lady. I'M SO MAD!!!!
