[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
also, heh, Ridgerock, Rockridge- I didn't even realize what I'd done for a while. I knew I *mean* Rockridge.
javachik, awesome article! I really am leaning toward Oakland at this point. It just sounds like a cool, diverse, up and coming, cheaper area. Like Somerville 15-20 years ago (but with more black people).
P-C, I'll definitely take you up on the offer
Cool! I can go and take pictures of stuff and break into houses or whatever.
Jess, in Seattle, you could have a YARD! And PLAYDATES! And STUFF!
So should I move West too? What's the job market like?
FUCK YES! Ahem. I mean, yes, you should consider it. Of course by West I mean Los Angeles, the Pasadena area is lovely.
As for job market, the heck if I know, but my business has been growing at a pretty good rate for the last 18 months.
I just opened my cable bill. $168!!! oh, HELL no! Goodbye Dexter, cause I'm getting rid of the pay stuff.
Cute Oakland apartments:
Ad for a SF apartment in a neighborhood I like (the Zmayems' if I am not mistaken) for similar money:
I saw my recent cable bill and found out I'd been charged for a service visit. Do they always charge for service visits? The guy was supposed to come between 4 and 6, and he came right at or after 6. I don't know if that gives me fair cause to bitch.
You should complain if no one told you there was going to be a charge.
I don't pay Charter to come fix things that are wrong with their cable. I end up arguing a lot.
Nora, I'm not sure what the area for that second Oakland apartment is like, but the first one is in a nice area of Rockridge, close to College Avenue. A few blocks from the chocolate cafe!
You should complain if no one told you there was going to be a charge.
No one did! I assumed it would be, you know, part of the fact that I pay for service. Especially since there were outages in my area. The problem itself appeared to be some sort of accidental shutoff that I had nothing to do with.
One co-worker and one co-worker's child have H1N1.
Whooppee.
