quester, check into taking the state civil service exams, too. Many colleges/universities are state agencies and you have to pass various exams before you'll be considered.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congratulations, Hil! Sounds great.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations, Hil!
Everyone else has been plenty wise about the logistics of moving -- though IIRC, a handful of Buffistas have managed to move to new places sight unseen; the trick for all of them was having someone local they trusted completely (usually but not always another Buffista) who could scout for them with a budget, wish list and dealbreaker list in hand.
But all of that is secondary to -- you got an offer you like, in a place you like! That is so completely awesome!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations, Hil! That's fantastic news.

I moved to SF sight unseen! I was very young.

We bought our current house sight unseen.

I can't imagine moving into a place without seeing it first. I'm so picky.
