About two hours north, to Birmingham. I have a house now, which I never ever could have afforded to rent in London. Two bedrooms upstairs. I - no exaggeration - couldn't afford a room in a shared flat for what this lovely nineteenth century house with a garden costs me.

How many cities are there in Ireland? Did you move from Drunkton to Lushville, or the other way around?

Re: The Job Search Woes Thread
Great news, Maj!
Re: The Job Search Woes Thread
Well done, sir, and good luck. It sounds like you're working in a very admirable job (a cousin of mine does something similar and loves every day of it)
I quite understand the appeal of escaping the property stranglehold of London and finding somewhere great to live, too.
Hope all goes well

Re: The Job Search Woes Thread
I just moved back to Boston in March and quickly found myself a tidy little consulting gig that pays just enough but lacks all the nice little benefits that help me sleep at night. So, I have been putting feelers out and trying to find the next best thing. Something will come along.
What makes my brain implode is the fact that this shitheel has made a career out of being a shitheel.

It's fucking great. I work Monday through Thursday and just make problems I can solve and then fix them. I would, however, like to go to a dentist again someday.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Jul 2018, 11:45amBostonBeaneater wrote: ↑24 Jul 2018, 11:35amI just moved back to Boston in March and quickly found myself a tidy little consulting gig that pays just enough but lacks all the nice little benefits that help me sleep at night.
