okaaaay.... so I am not getting renewed at my company... after saving the world over there.
What a bunch of jerks!
If you need anybody's knees broken, just send me a PM.
At least they were nice about it.
Now the interview I thought I bombed says they are putting together an offer. Now I am starting to realize that I pretty much need 6 figures to live in this city. And I have a 20-year old car. I don't understand how people live here....
So why?
I read an article recently about Millennials abandoning the biggest cities, in droves, to move to "second tier" cities that still offer most of the perks of living in New York or LA or San Francisco, without the exorbitant cost of living. People graduated from college and moved in with romantic ideas about these places, but after the excitement of living in a "prestige" city wore off, people found it wasn't as great as they imagined, and left.
I had this fight with the previous significant other many times. Obviously, Kim City isn't a "second tier" city, it's not even in the top ten tiers... but I have a job and a home and everything I need here, while she's struggling to make ends meet in Vancouver. Why? What's so great about it? I just don't see the point.
