Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Okay, this job application wants me to upload a copy of my diploma. How much is that not going to happen? I've never seen my diploma. Why do they care?
One of the tennis announcers just said that it was his 20th anniversary and that his wife was too good for him. I completely cannot imagine that. I'm getting too old to have so little idea.
I assume SF incomes are proportional(ish) with rents? Because I read $1295 and actually thought, "For *only* one month?!?"
Mine's not. Between academia and publishing I sure know how to pick 'em. Once I move, about 1/2 my take home will go to rent + utilities and 1/4 goes to school loans.
I console myself with the fact that, were I to buy my current house with 20% down, the interest alone on the mortgage for the first year would be double my rent. So renting, even at these prices, is still way cheaper.

What java said, Steph. As someone who is in the less fortunate position. Seeing people who are managing or even doing well provides a little bit of hope. So not only should you not feel guilty, you should also know that you are a little glimmer of light letting us know we will get through it.
I suspect that some job applications are actually psychological studies to see just how far subjects will go in pursuit of a job. Be especially careful if they ask you to deliver near-lethal electric jolts to other applicants....

Dude, I didn't even have to do that for my job. Transcript, sure, but not actual diploma. Which I think is hanging on a wall back in Michigan.
That's insane. And unless you're applying within academia, even the transcript is pretty over the top, especially if you've been out of school for a few years.
Car meets church.
OMG! Talk about your flying cars. And here I was thinking it was going to be just a car driving into the side of a church at street level.
Which is what happened at St. Mary Nativity church in Joliet back when I was in high school, but that church was only the width of the sidewalk away from the street, so having a car drive into it wasn't that unusual. We did make jokes about it since St. Mary's was notorious for having short masses (20-25 minutes, usually) which were nicknamed "drive-in masses"--the driver apparently took the nickname seriously!
Kathy, I added an extra comment to clarify the rather aerial nature of the collision.
Or maybe to make you look craxy, YMMV.
