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 :)

prestigious should be in lol quotes

halol
i cld hook u up at an ip firm here maybe but fuck nyc for the next few years

yeah i don't wanna live in nyc at all though. also i have not taken a single ip course.

<3 ip
(and 1p3)

2day i finished job
and had last class
and i am moving in 18 dayssssssss

go forth, trouble child

i am excited but i feel like i am in permanent weekend mode until august. this is gonna be hard. i'm just gonna go to the movies and drink beers with the cat all the time instead of studying and studying is important this time :((((((

so not gonna be ready in 13 days

wow, i have a lot to do!

i keep trying to pack things and my apartment gets more and more covered with random junk to trip on. a lot of boxes in the hallway though! eeeeeeee

lol i went on this cleaning binge and threw out all my boxes like 2 months ago! oops.

perhaps this will inspire me to get rid of more stuff, though :D

someone promised to bring me boxes a few weeks ago and keeps forgetting and i am mad

what a jerk i would call bullshit on them if i were u
