That's great, Sean - and what they all said. About the job and the city. Plus dolphins.
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Thrive to spite them
Sean I think it's awesome that you are in the running for that. You don't have to make a decision but Atlanta is a great city plus the airport is a major hub so that's another plus.

But I really don't want to leave LA.
Yeah you do! For a steady job with good pay in the field you love!
It's better than having no car and no money and eating dust bunnies, dude.
Besides, Georgia girls will totally fall for your charms.

Screw Georgia--dolphins man!! Dolphins!
waves wildly 20 or 25 miles southwards at meara:: (assuming you're either Downtown or Mission Valley) Hope you have lots of dance-y fun! I didn't even realize there was a swing convention this weekend, but I'm primarily Lindy, not West Coast (also have been hermitty for the last however-many months), so guess I missed a memo. Too bad, that would have been awesome to randomly run into a Buffista. Anyway, have fun while you're here!
Hey girl hey. We are on...Hotel Circle? By some mall? Dunno. But I do wish I could dance as good as many of these people!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Hotel Circle is what I'd call the west end of Mission Valley. And Fashion Valley is not a bad mall if you need mall stuff.
I kinda miss San Diego. Not the crowds all of the time, but the neighborhoods. If I ever get the chance to work really close to a place I'd want to live, I could move back there. I am just over commuting. And daily traffic.

I think you guys are right, that it's to good to pass up (that seems to be the consensus from others I've talked to as well). I'm glad I have a little time to think about/assimilate it. I mean, it's not even an offer yet.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Sean, if you do get offered the job and decide to take it, it doesn't have to be a forever move. Having something like that on your résumé, may help you get a job back in CA someday.
The people across the way are having some kind of party. I think they're college kids. I can't sleep, and I'm ridiculously tired. I'm also becoming insanely annoyed at TCG's ability to sleep through it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Our wings are not tired.
The rest of the world sleeping, and in particular the person next to you peacefully snoring, makes insomnia bunches worse.
Sean! This is really an exciting possibility. Change may be scary, but it is moreso stimulating and invigorating. A new start, a reboot. I hope this happens for you. The world gets smaller every day and travel is a whole lot easier with cash.

If I get my hands on the college kids making all that noise until 4:00 AM, I'm going to need an alibi.
I finally got to sleep at about 4:30 after the fire alarm started beeping and Mom woke up and changed the batteries. There is not enough tea in the world for today.
