It's something to accept - when I'm broke, when I'm sick, when I'm uncertain how far away from normalcy my next detour will take me - that every path leads to regrets, if I allow it to. I don't know how this one is going to turn out.
The Road Taken
Jobs
“New York Experience Required”
There is a lot to be wary of when using CL for goods and/or services. Anything can happen. So, why, you might ask, would a person still do any business on Craigslist if there are so many scam artists, shysters and loons on the site?
3 Months in Boston
If the next 9 months in Boston are anything like the last 3, it's going to be difficult to say goodbye. I can't imagine a better problem to have.
Looking For Work in Obama’s America

Regardless, this means I get to keep paying my bills. Which is good, because apparently … Continue reading A Seattle Update
A Reprieve
I was starting to think Nashville was going to be my Waterloo. But a job has presented itself. A pathetic, low-paying job, but a job. To be fair, I get pretty pessimistic in every city. But there was a perfect storm of issues here that made this city seem especially hopeless: Relational, Mental, Economic (national), … Continue reading A Reprieve
