A Semi-Open Posting... · 9:47pm Jun 3rd, 2015
Barring a miracle, pretty much every story I'm working on these days is going to be on an unofficial hiatus for the next sixty or so days.
The TL;DR version-got served sixty days notice at my apartment building. I live in one of the most expensive metro areas in the United States (the San Francisco Bay Area) and the rent for a one bedroom apartment that is a)within reasonable commute of work, and b)isn't in an area that I'd be afraid of having my place broken into on a regular basis starts out at obscene and goes up from there. Reducing the numbers of (a) and (b) decrease the rental rates ever so slightly. Right now, I'm looking at places that would add another half hour to an hour to my daily commute at nearly double the rate that I was paying. This would mean my work day would start at 5 am, end at 7-8 pm, and I would be pushing double my current rent, easily.
So, there isn't a lot of energy for me to do other stuff, between the packing and the purging (oh GOD, the purging) and the general "holy shit, I have 57 days left before I need to leave here" feeling.
