Just popping back in...

Mar 16, 2009 23:26

Time for my tri-annual post! (I can recall a time when I posted something almost daily. Tri-Annual? This is just sad...)

I have talked to a few of you more recently than others, but I'm going to go with the lowest-common-denominator here, and assume you all haven't heard from me in a damn long time.

I'm still happy, employed and living in San ( Read more... )

I will just note offhand that NYC is one of the places I'm seriously considering moving to, as it's got lots of publishing. Also, I know at least a few couples who have done the staged-move/living-apart-for-finite-time thing, and have not only survived by flourished. So I know it's possible! But I'll cross my fingers for you not having to do it.

Also! I will be in the Bay Area 4/2-8! Want to hang out?

hang out? absolutely!

Yay! :D

Ugh, good luck. Having just navigated a very similar situation, I feel your pain.

Think you could work out a job transfer to a place in New York? Just having a job set up before you move might help you feel a lot better about the transition.

My hope is that I can get a job transfer to the Chocolate Factory's NYC office. I don't plan to leave SF until I have some form of employment waiting for me in NY. (In this economy, the last thing I need is to be paying NYC housing costs while unemployed.)

Hey! I work at Columbia right now.

I can offer crashy couch space should anyone need it while they're looking for apartments.

Gut should move to NYC TOO THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME.

I think Ben Schak said something about moving to Morningside Heights also. Plus you have LAUREEN in the Bronx and Peter Sand in Brooklyn. Plus Laura and EP are so very close by in New Haven.

Great... just great.

Shiiiiiit.

This means we have to hang out with overbo alone?

I hate that.

Well, I just hope that if you move to NYC, that you and Sarah move back :) We really like it here, and will do what we can to stay.

I'd very much like to come back someday, as I really love it here. I fear that 3 years in NYC will make it very difficult to move Sarah away though. The theatre scene in NYC dwarfs just about anything anywhere else.
