Instead, it'll be completely outsourced after April 1 ... and he won't be involved at all.
I guess the lesson here is that if you hassle Toddson be prepared for a karmic bitchslap.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

I think it was the combination of keeping me in the dark and the gratituitous comment about my entire salary depending on the magazine that did it (at least as far as I'm concerned).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our mortgage is still worth more than our house, but not by a whole lot. We are lucky we got a repo, though, for 100k less than what was being offered for more fixed-up houses. If prices keep falling we may end up with a bit of time where we are upside down, but we plan on staying here for many more years, and things will improve. Plus our house is awesome with a ginormous yard in a lovely neighborhood.
And, as my DH pointed out last night, if we HAD waited for prices to go down more, we probably wouldn't be able to get a mortgage since he is self-employed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the thing with buying -- if you're not planning on moving and can afford your mortgage, what do you care about the market value of your house? This is my renter's feeling, anyway.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I assume SF incomes are proportional(ish) with rents?
Ish. People in NY and SF spend a much higher percentage of their income on housing than the rest of the country. (~50% vs ~30%, IIRC.)
Which is what I'm doing now. In 2 months, once I move, it'll drop down to 37%(ish). The extra few bills will be nice, for sure, but I'm not only moving in with M, I'm moving in with M & Gary. However! Huge kitchen, back deck (with room for a garden), big sitting room, 14' ceilings.... YAYS.

Yes, especially now that they are building an arthouse multiplex cinema that we can walk to from our house. If we can get a Trader Joe's around here, I will never have any reason to go anywhere!

Well, there's the property tax issue. But then, having the value go down would be kinda nice, if you don't plan to sell or get a property-secured loan, wouldn't it?

I'm not only moving in with M, I'm moving in with M & Gary.
I somehow missed this! Congratulations!

OMG, for once in my life, I remembered to use the million tiny calculations I already did for this one project, instead of re-doing them all! Yay me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dear dog, why do some of these sites make it so long and convoluted to apply for a job???? All these one off usernames and passwords for jobs they won't even tell me I didn't get. It's insane.
At least I have tennis to comfort me, even if they're reshowing last night's match.
