I used to live in Hoboken, right by the City, and then reverse-commute to interior NJ. It's doable.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Heh. You'd think y'all wanted me to move to New York! :) I'll keep that in mind. I know here in DC, it's a lot harder to reverse-commute by public transport--sure, if you're on the lines, there are trains, but they run less often, or the connecting busses do, or whatever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ain't nothing cheaper than Philly. At least, not in a northeastern city. And it's decent enough, AND close to both DC and NYC!

Lake Oswego (wait, I KNOW that's cool, Cass lives there!)It is! And I never even got to show you most of it. (And the commute into Portland's downtown is easy.)
Heh. You'd think y'all wanted me to move to New York! :)Do not want.
Want you to move to Portland, obviously .

OMG, Best Week Ever just reminded me about "Trapped In The Closet" by R. Kelly, and that month when I had to sing the narration of everything I was doing. "And I'm making some copies! Making the copies!!"

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Better more than just a mom. Like, a harried mother of a serial killer who's on the run.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
many many many of the pharma co's around here are in South San Francisco. harder commute from the east bay but then there are a bunch of them in the East bay here. Depending on what you do , it isn't horrid finding a job around here - but commutes can be brutal if you change jobs

Also, Kat, re: the possible job, is there any way you'd be able to eventually move closer to it? So that it might just be like, a year of bad commute or something?
I don't think after a year it will matter because I fervently hope not to be in LA after one more year. I can't stand it here anymore. Of course, this is dependent on what happens with my kids etc etc, but yeah.

Come to Portland...
(I know, but it's a great city. And needs more Buffistas.)
