♥♥♥!

such wonderful news to wake up to

but fuck bill english for saying civil unions should be “enough”

black people already get to go to school, that should be ENOUGH, why do we need to end segregation??

yes, very very wonderful!!!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Two weeks pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

I am missing Seattle again :(

time to visit!

or move here!!

find me awesome job?

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯A month passes⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

I found a job to apply for! any of you Seattlites heard of an org called $hunp1k3?

no but that is awesome!

how did i miss this! very exciting, t!! i’m not familiar with the org but it seems perfect for you!

I have been procrastinating with my application and i don’t know why :(

Maybe because i am scared of another tiny org

they’ve been around for quite a while, though, and it looks like the client base is pretty large and varied. and it seems like an ideal next step in your career, a good fit plus a place you can really apply your expertise to influence the success/growth of the org.

i love how the name represents the goals/values of the org too. really neat!

DO IT NOW!!!

maybe in 5 years they’ll need a parttime writer. then i can retire from uw (!!!) and work less at a better place.

so you go ahead and start there, make your way up to director, and hire me! a perfect plan!

and of course you can feel sunny all the time, which is the best reason of all!

hire me 1st

hire mookie first

Hah. I know I should apply but now I will not get preference bc I didn’t submit by the 6th. I suck :(

yes but you are better than those desperate early birds!!!

Maybe? :)

not maybe. YES!

aw <3

apply now! do you need help? what can i do to help?

I haven’t updated my résumé in two years? Oops,

ah shit i hate when i do that

can i just say:

ytth has been trying to hire someone at his work and about 99.9% of applicants are fucking idiots—they don’t read the job listing properly, they send the most generic cover letters, and they say the most generic bullshit during interviews.

tza, you are anything but generic or boring, so you should feel confident about applying for a cool new job!!!! everyone else applying sucks!!!

Aw. Does ytth want to give me a job?

ps i secretly want to become a dog trainer because i am tired of office bs. Also I need to learn all this training stuff anyway and my dog trainer charges mad $$$. And doggies are better than people...though i guess there is a lot of people training in dog training.

it’s an entry-level position (kind of admin assistant thing, i think?), but his company is basically the best work environment a person could imagine.

how does anyone afford to live in sf?

a. they work for some start-up that has more venture capital than they know what to with

b. they rent a walk-in closet (literally) for $2000 a month

OR you can work in sf and live in our pretty little city and pay $1200 p/m for a nice 2bd w/garage and yard (although we discovered recently we are paying waaaaaaaaaaaaay under market value) and commute 45mins each way.

t did you apply for that job? i don’t want you to be regretful.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Six months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Congratulations, Seattle!

Wheeeee!

wooohoooooo!!!

i wanted them to win, too. denver sounds lame.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Three months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

i saw our jergins on tv!

if you are watching the sounders game you can see him too

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Ten months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

my friends are leaving seattle and moving to . . . dakar

my sister lived in dakar once. the colors, they are vivid!

oh boy, good luck to them! maybe you can come see them off?

is that the friend who went to help with the ebola outbreak?

i liked them very well, that was a fun night.

it was very fun! and good of y’all to come uptown

i am lame for not having returned

maybe you will visit them in dakar!

or just move here anyway. with harbl. and tza. and am0n.

i am inching my way there.

my fifth anniversary of leaving seattle was last week. i may have shed a little tear.

awww

Waiting for my to-go order at Katsu Burger and overheard a guy tell the cashier he “goes by Merlin. Just. Merlin.”

my wandering auld fella is currently shacking up with a seattle habitant I’ll have to enquire as to the prospects of the relationship with a view to fappage

!

would it not be better to enquire in person?

surely the situation needs assessing post haste?

its over twenty years (god) since we left school for the summer in donegal and told our friends/classmates we were moving to seattle where my dad was due to take up a marine professorship or idk what.

after a summer of increasingly disturbing fuckery and brokenminded parenting we ended up living with cousins on that island I keep posting about instead, where I had to learn irish for five years.

he owes me a week in seattle, basically, is the point

i like ‘post haste’ in the context of ilx. but i always have to confirm to it’s actually a thing before hitting submit because it’s too perfect.

XP I’ll ask him in person in a fortnight, which only requires I wait a fortnight and spend no extra money. then I’ll be right back to u with an answer.

that was an xxp I did not employ enough post haste

i think your island years weren’t all bad? otoh i don’t know what i’m talking about so.

he certainly owes you a week, if not the whole five years.

xptoo

i will be here in two weeks to learn the outcome

they weren’t all bad at all but at the same time there’s no point letting him know that if there’s free lodging up for grabs, and I def begrudge the Irish lessons.

marine professorship

like biology or maritime industry? if the latter and he needs employment he should connect with our jergins.

it would have been the latter twenty years ago I guess, but he is very old now and I wouldn’t recommend him to work with anyone I’d be afraid for him to fall out with tbh

but he is talking with contacts there about work as is so I guess he plans to se(a)ttle for a while

haha fair enough!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Three months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
