Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I could get a condo in my neighborhood that's about the size of my current apartment (~550 sq. ft.) for ~150k. Which isn't that bad, considering it's a nice, established, middle-class neighborhood that's a 15 minute drive from RTP (ie, where many of the jobs are). So you might think that I'd be a fool a) not to buy and b) to be job hunting elsewhere.

But then, if I mention to you that I'm trying to get back into teaching for the considerable increase in salary that would entail . . .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I shall live in a Zeppelin and roam the earth.

I am very pro people buying places together - with friends and shit. Iknow some friends in CO who did it. They had a contract drawn up between them wehere the other one would be offered right of first refusal should either want to sell and it allowed them both to build up equity until they could each afford their own place. Certainly not the plan for everyone (and not a situation that co-op board like mine would go for), but it worked for them and I thought it was a great alternative.

Heh. Maybe I could be a super-villian who always speaks in a high-pitched voice from inhaling helium.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

You could probably own one in Eastern Washington now. The question is, will you own a house in a place you'd actaully want to live?

Sigh. Yeah, true, that's the problem.
