Because books.
Todd, $3,900 for a 1BR? I figured D.C. was expensive, but wow. Good luck on the move!
Congratulations, msbelle! It feels like everything is falling into place!

Great news, msbelle! Soon you'll have New Office Friends.

Amy, pretty much all new construction/renovation is for "luxury" housing. And they're going to do a major overhaul of a 1929 building (which was built as luxury housing at the time - great timing, right? - but has not been well maintained). They're going to rip out walls that aren't load-bearing, redo the wiring and plumbing, put in completely new kitchens and bathrooms. It'll be nice, but I can't afford that. Since I'm leaving after many years, I'll be getting a nice buy-out ... much of which, I assume, will go to taxes, but I should be able to get some new furniture out of that.

Yay Toddson—that's great you were able to find another place!
And go msbelle, employment yes!!! And with government? That's some stability. I'm so impressed at you up and moving your life cross country twice while we've known you!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
YAY APARTMENT! YAY JOB!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
YAY CIVIL SERVICE!

Ending the week on a positive note ... at least for two of us.
