My friend R. lives in Dorchestah, and it's a nice neighborhood. It apparently gets a little sketchy if you go more than a few blocks in some directions.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Thanks for the salary perspectives. I'm collecting all sorts of information because 5 of us are collectively going to the Big Boss to talk about our deteriorating work situation and I want to be as prepared as possible on all fronts.
Needless to say, the next couple of days should be very interesting.
ETA: Of course, it goes without saying that Jesse should move to San Francisco (but not work in publishing).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the "always lived at home" thing would be a bit of a red flag for me. Where does he have sex?
I really liked McAdams in Wedding Crashers and that's exactly the sort of movie that encourages disposable women, and she wasn't. And her pictures (when she's brunette) always seem warm and charming. I will probably next see her in Sherlock Holmes.
I'm an incredibly huge Bana fan. He gives me the shivers, that man. Chopper, Troy, him in The Hulk...

The same place his parents do?
Having dated someone living at home (and it was an issue but not for the reasons one might think), it doesn't have to be a negative, but it should be a red flag that is considered and discussed.

In their bed? That ain't right.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I inferred that he doesn't bring women to his place while his parents are there.

Sorry, I've had a rough day. Turns out storming the castle requires a lot of mental energy, not to mention planning.

That's all sorts of complicated. I grew up in a very sort of "not while you're under my roof!" sort of a house, so I can't imagine spending all my adult years there. Which is why I need a job soon so I don't have to go back. Not that I'm doing anything scandalous now...
