Hello Everybody

So, in my on-again off-again affair with NYC, I've decided its over. I asked my company to transfer me to San Francisco just so I get the hell out of here. New York has its charms and the architecture and history is brilliant. The dogshit on the sidewalks, the garbage on the streets, and the stench of armpits in the air is just not worth enduring. I have an appointment with HR on Tuesday to discuss my options for SF, though I have to interview just like I would any other job, and it can take up to a few months if they don't have any openings. Quite frankly, I don't want to go to SF either, so I've been applying to jobs in San Diego and Los Angeles as well. Going to SF is an easier way to stay with my company because I've been spoiled with the equivalent of 4 weeks of vacation they give us. My heart lies in Southern California though. Literally. I figured I would assess my market value by applying to various positions, but sadly I haven't heard back from anyone. Applying for jobs is such a bummer. Incidentally, next month I will have been in NYC for one year. This must be what boot camp feels like. I feel like I'm dragging myself out of the mud to the finish line or something.
