Don't remember who was asking about applying for jobs from afar, but...if you know anyone who could be your "address", that might be best--these days with cellphones, a number might not be local (so you could give them your current one) but depending on the jobs, companies may not want to interview someone who'd have to fly out (they don't want to pay) and they may not want to pay relocations costs if you move. So sometimes it's best to sound like you're local, even if you're not, and THEN you can explain the whole "actually, i'm moving down there Dec 1" or whatever.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

TEPPY!
DH just showed me this, and I instantly thought OMG I must show Teppy that, if she hasn't already seen it. The whole thing is fun, but scroll about a third of the way down (right past the Rhino) for the funniest panel EVAR.

'Til we dance away...
That was me, meara. My ex-fiance is there, as is another friend. I will be living in a hotel for awhile (ex is GM, so it's free) so theoretically I could just use that. But it's Montana, and I think they'd know it wasn't a perm. address since it's just not a very big city. I could do a PO Box, but I'm not sure if I could get one from here. I'm actually planning to be out there by the end of this month, so I could just put off the job thing, but there are a few I'm interested in and I don't really want to get there and find them filled.

Can you just use your friend's addrss, Sassy? These days it's doubtful they'd actually MAIL you anything, so it's sort of pointless...

'Til we dance away...
Heh. The ex is living in the hotel right now, and my friend lives in campus housing, but I guess that wouldn't be so bad. Does anyone know anything about Montana? Am I totally going to freeze?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think you should be okay as long as you make it clear that you are already in the process of moving. If you have a date you'll be there, even better. Just so they don't think they'll be on the hook for your move.

Of course, if you technically get the job BEFORE you move, you can deduct the costs on your taxes, can't you?

Hey. New board.
My head is killing me, so I can't go through and read everything that's happened since my rushing out this morning.
GF is now fine. It was an anxiety attack (which she has a history of). She has medication for it (taken as needed) but didn't want to take it since she had more adderall in her system than she's used to. Basically, she needed somebody (qualified) to assure her she'd be fine if she took it, because with anxiety comes paranoia. Once taken, she relaxed and got much better.
So any ~ma you guys sent her way is free for the rest of the world. Sorry I didn't come in as soon as she got better and let you know, but after sitting with her for a while, the rest of life suddenly caught up with me, and I've been on the run ever since.
