thinkin baout moving

hey, me too

time to get excited

i hope those guys will give me a job

there is some stuff i will miss, here

is it moving day yet

i wish.

mostly i am so tired of it being WINDY every day UGH

this part of america should be destroyed by 100 tornadoes imo

i am late for work because i was lusting after spacious west coast apartments, with views.

i moved into a new office for job today

it has fire alarm system, sprinklers, working mail chutes, heat, air conditioning, and janitors. all these things the old bldg didn’t have can u believe it

LOL @ the old building catching fire today at noon

place i worked at last year didn’t have hot water! dressing rooms with showers, but no hot water lol

oh yeah it only had one type of water at a time: either hot or cold but you couldn’t really choose

also the elevators were so slow i quit using them, and during the fire today the news says one got stuck on the 7th floor

yay i found apartment (not officially but sort of). Moving Day is fast approaching!!!

lol jk

lol jk

i am moving in 24 days

i wonder if a box will fall on your head

i’ve wondered that too. i was hoping something good would happen while/after i moved but maybe something bad like that will happen. who knows anymore.

maybe it will be a blessing in disguise.

a cunt of a blessing.

oh dear

you cant suggest ban on this board

that was a quote, my friend told me she borrowed an evening bag for a formal thing she was going to from a very ladylike friend of hers who then said in a posh voice, you should keep it if you want to, it’s a cunt of a bag.

estela

we have punctuation marks for those

i just responded to a sublet ad!

maybe this is really happening!

what neighborhood? what month?

july 1, it was a few blocks from volunteer park, but they haven’t replied to me :(

maybe sublet r3my’s place, though...

finding apt was so annoying. you have to reload craigslist all day basically and jump on things in the first 10 min. in my experience. i am subletting until aug 15 bc i didn’t wanna do a year without seeing it, also don’t know how much money i’ll have in 3 months. could be a lot, could be none!

what city?

the greatest city in america

the greatest city in america needs lawyers? not so great then huh

i have been eying listings for the past month or so and i keep seeing tons of repeats, but yeah, don’t really wanna rent a place til i’m there and have an idea where i will be working/spending most of my time, so i think sublet is the way to go! those probably go faster, though.

jerkins

WHAT CITY?

BALTIMORE

AKA THE GREATEST CITY IN AMERICA

stalking amon has gone too far imo

srsly jerkins where the hell have you been harbl’s been talking baout bmore for ages.

he STOLE MY baltimore thread

did you tell your parents your moving there for a boy you haven’t met yet?

(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

thx

summer in seattle >>>>> summer in new york

otm

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

neither am i but maybe i should be

like if i fail i gotta take it again in february and pay them like $200 more or something

whatta racket

u will do fine

tza u gettin laid off like permanent definitely or what? i missed this too

monday is my last day of work and i am pumped

my position was always set to end with the end of the season.

originally i thought i might get laid off in like january. this was always when it was supposed to be over, though.

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

nyc was 8.1% for march 09. can only imagine it’s higher now.

what is williamsburg rate?

seattle

portland

vancouver

sf

parts of socal

n arizona

montana

mpls

chicago

memphis

maine

nyc

london

paris

berlin

tokyo

hawaii

laos

shanghai

denmark

bourdeax area sw france

barcelona

new zealand

australia (cities)

tahoe

baja

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
