no nap for me

For those who asked, and those who were curious but didn't: like uilos I'll be moving to the DC area, because that is where jobs come from. There is technically a nonzero chance that I'll stay in B-burg, but I think the amount of money I'd ask for started out higher than this company would be willing to pay and it's only gone up since then. Plus they've already got one technically-writer / tester.

And oh yes, another thing that will be different When I Move will be the amount of light coming in at the windows. I shall have miniblinds and/or curtains, that I may choose the hours when the harsh rays of the Daystar flood my bedroom. This choice is unlikely to be "from sunup to sundown."

Yeah, because all of us would have rather stayed in blacksburg if it were not for this reason.

I might've, actually. Six weeks ago there was a possible scenario where the management of this company wanted to start getting serious about testing and documenting that they'd be willing to actually hire me full-time for decent money, resulting in me kicking around here enjoying the low cost-of-living and the landscape while paying down various debts. However, management (or perhaps the funding) has other priorities.

It's not a bad place to be. I've just been here about long enough.

Unrelated: that is a /fantastic/ picture.

well...if I could have made a decent living working for the state, I would have stayed. Also, lab tech @ VT = career DOA.

and thanks!

California says hi.

"California! Come for the overtaxing work environment, stay for the unaffordable housing!"

Seriously, though. It's more that I've already got something of a social network set up in the DC area, and I hate trying to meet new people.

Yeah, I was just amused. For me, DC isn't where jobs come from, after all (stupid games industry seems to hate places with seasons... :( ) and technically does have MORE jobs total due to the sheer population, so I thought I'd be flippant.
