The good news is, I got the job.

The bad news is the pay. Eeuuuugh. Ordinarily I'd say no, thanks, but the economy being the way that it is, I didn't - which of course is precisely why they lowballed me like that. It is a significant pay cut, and it's on a 1099, and it's in Alexandria.

I'm taking it and I'm still looking.

Blech. Sorry. It's hard out there.

Oy. Good luck on finding something better.

Woof. Can you do the train to save some of the evil commute?

Congrats. I think.

I intend to, but it's still a production: MARC to Union Station, Red Line to Metro Center, Blue Line to Pentagon City (or Red Line to Gallery Place, Yellow Line to Pentagon City), and corporate shuttle from there.

Wow. Sorry you have to settle. Good luck on the continued hunt.
