San Francisco wins as far as weather, but I think I'd need to make twice my current salary to afford to live there.
I also fear the future giant earthquake is only waiting on my presence.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

YAY, I finished the rough draft of my case study analysis! And I did class reading and annotated bibliography stuff yesterday, so now I can PLAY!

Well done Nora.
I have been doing lots of work work stuff today. Now on to my home work stuff. Next task on my list is going on the roof and taking a sledge hammer to the chimney. It's crumbling and needs to be replaced. We rented a dumpster for the construction debris. DH is replacing the roof on the shed, which has turned into a bit more frame work than he planned. Since it is taking him longer than intended I thought I would go for the chimney project. I'm hoping it ends up being as much fun as I anticipate.
On weekends I spend a bit of time catching up with COMM. I'm about 1200 posts behind there. Still in March 2005 today. It's like re-reading a favorite book. Also, Buffistas funny.

Holy crap, Laura. I need Advil, caffeine, and two days of procrastinating just to reorganize my bedroom, and you're sledgehammering down a chimney.

True dat. But Oakland, for example, seemed pretty reasonable (well, it seemed reasonable in comparison with, let's remember, Boston).
I have set myself all of one task today, which is to write a cover letter and email my resume off to a placement service. I just hate doing it. Wah!

Well, once on the roof the chimney situation is more complex than I thought. There are actually 2 chimneys. One is for the coal burner and I would have no problem knocking that down with a sledge, except that it is right on the edge of the house and I'm too afraid of heights to get that near the edge. The main chimney for the fireplace is in the center of the house. The issue with that one is that it appears to me that at a more recent time in history someone has replaced the top section and that is pretty solid. The section below that is crumbling. Tearing out the middle and bottom sections will be easy, except for the top part being all solid.
I think instead I will take a shower and go for a boat ride with my sister. New plan. Better plan.

Hey, did you find a place in Oakland? Where are you living?

Argh. I just had to borrow money from a friend. I feel much with the assyness. The sooner I finish this bloody masters and get a job, the better.

I love this plan! I'm excited (for you) to be a part of it!

Have not found a place yet. I'm really hoping to find a job very quickly and let that determine where I should live... or not. I don't know. The whole thing's very stressful.
