I'm never gonna get out of this ****ty town

[Lonestar]

Me and the SO are trying to move to Texas so I can return to A&M and finish my degree. In August I got a job offer in Houston and after much negotiation it became clear that we weren't going to come to an agreement on compensation. Then the SO got promoted at her work, so that's great, but we're basically stuck here for a bit longer.

I really ****ing hate the DC Area. I would rather take an anthrax shot to the testicle than spend another year here.

How are things with you guys?

[Uncle Sparky]

I'm doing OK, except for the anthrax in my scrotum... it did kill the maggots.

[ColdWizard]

What's not to like? Aside from the omnipresent traffic caused by all the ****ty drivers meaning it takes at least five times longer to get to the (purportedly) interesting places to go and see, and things to do.

I have defeated Schizophrenia. My paranoia is all but gone and I no longer have grandiose delusions.

I have a powarful new mindset as a result, my faith in God is restored, and I am not afraid of death.

[Lorizael]

I graduate today, which means I no longer have any reason to stay in the DC area (except my friends and family). Would like to get a job as a night technician on a telescope in Hawaii...

congrats on the end of a long journey. May it bring rewards.

I moved into an apartment in Tysons Corner and I'm loving it.

Hawaii's great but the cost of living is excruciating.

If you are up for a 'night' technician on a (neutrino) telescope in Antartica.

Holy crap. I didn't realize they let people stay down there that long.

Like the COL isn't excruciating here?
