How about smallpox hospitals?
TB hospitals would be even more goth.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

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

Sanitariums. Fair point, though.
Mental hospitals are gothiest. The one I found in Rochester Northampton had rooms that were all scratched to shit on the inside, probably by fingernails.

Oh, Aimee, that sounds great!
Very cool photograph. [eta the Manhattan one. The scratched up room is too creepy for me]
askye, in my experience (and this is from a while ago, so have a nice pile of salt with it), retail work and receptioning are not very far off from one another in pay. I have twice left office jobs to work retail, once with a significant cut in pay, and once with a small cut in pay, and both times was much happier in the retail job. And I wasn't even in management.

Are there any abandoned mental hospitals in Seattle? How about smallpox hospitals?
I ... I don't know off the top of my head. But I have friends who would know, and they're also friends with cameras. Not that they'll have any time to do anything until after Burning Man, but still. I should go bug Marc17 about it.

I just told you that freaks me out!

It's artistic! It's madness made manifest! It's showing not telling!

How would one go about doing such a thing? I know I'm supposed to find someone without a vested interest in my actually buying (a bank wants my money whether or not I can afford it, right?).
For financial planning, P-C, you want a fee-only financial planner [link] They don't sell investments; they just help you figure out how to invest for a fee.
I have a really long rant about the state of the nation's infrastucture, but I'll spare you.
Happy anniversary, Joe and Aimee!

My niece just sent me this email:
How is Uncle [his name]'s new job? Is he picking up Panda Poop? K [her older sister] said that was an option. It is very hot here today. Bye. Love [Niece]

It's giving me the creeps! (Did I tell you I have a weird phobia of old places/things? I don't go out of my way to avoid them, but I don't seem to be able to seperate them from the people who lived in/used them contemporarily. I get vertigo if left in the antiquities parts of the DMA).

Thrive to spite them
-t I realized that I haven't worked in retail for almost 10 years, I can look at what I got paid, but I'm not sure how that translates to what I'd get paid today.
I have to keep reminding myself that no matter what I do I'll be taking a pay cut because my supervisor figured out how to overpay me to keep me to stay.
