It looks like I'll be getting a job offer tomorrow that'll pay the salary I asked for (I reasoned that the Bay Area has a high-cost of living, which it does), moving expenses from Alaska, first-month's rent/security deposit, and free Uber rides to and from work.

I'll be getting the contract tomorrow.

It'd be cool to meet some of you in person, if nothing else than to insult each other face-to-face.

Lol.  Run D.M.C., you live in the Bay area, buddy?  Hmm?

Why don't you scootch your island a little bit closer . . .

OMG dear boy, are you sure ???? it's very hard to get a reliable source of blubber there, and you may be very hot in your furs. Try not to go shopping armed to the teeth and try supermarkets, easier than hunting in the local park. Seriously hope it works out buddy.

LMAO, buddy.

I gotta leave my heavy armory at home, but I think I'll bring my Ruger Mark I pistol to plink away at the squirrels under the cover of dusk, being careful to tape a 20-ounce (in Minnesotan voice "Empty, don't ya know?") plastic soda bottle over the barrel to muffle the reports.  Can't have those blighters keepin' ya awake at nights, don't ya know?

One thing I'm really excited about is the prospect of high-speed, non-satellite-reliant internet service so I can get back to tossing tenderly and lovingly-cooked nades at my COD4 Server 1 foes . . . and friends.

I've been to San Francisco before, and it's absolutely beautiful, especially its China Town.  Its definitely the cleanest, non-stinkiest one I've been to yet.

The China Town in New York City is cool, but stinks because the seafood vendors--or a lot of them, at least--dump their spoiled products down the sewer grates.  Not a good smell in early August.

Put some floats and a sail on your scooter, load it up with extra batteries and several cases of beer, and sail over, buddy.  You'd be a sight to see on your passage through the Panama Canal, swearing at all the railway workers and tossing empty beer cans "overboard."

Make sure you wear a British Flag tee-shirt so they know where you're from.  I'll pick you up in the Bay, and we'll take Uber back to my apartment, where you can pass out and wake up the next day exclaimimg "Criminy sakes, where in the blazes am I?  And where's my wallet?"

LMAO, bud.

Where in the Bay Area are you good no to be at?   It covers a fairly big area when you figure in travel times with our suck ass traffic here.   Going to be a rude awakening for you coming from Alaska.  Very expensive and congested.  I am 25 miles inland from SF in the Walnut Creek Concord Area

LMAO!  My thumb (all the typing I do is on my Samsung, which is pretty tough when you have thick thumbs!) was hovering, albeit momentarily, over the "middle finger button," but I didn't punch it because I laughed out loud.

Lol.

Update:  signed the contract today:  they'll be paying TWO month's rent plus help with utilities' expenses, plus a week in a hotel while I find a place to rent, plus pocket money to help with incidentals, in addition to the free Uber rides.

Guess they really want me.  It's good to feel wanted, isn't it, brethren and sisteren?

@RobMc--start installing your floats on your scooter, buddy.  I'll see if I can negotiate with the Panama Canal Authority for your free--and safe!!--passage through the canal, buddy.

I had to promise them you wouldn't litter the canal zone with your empties.

Lol.

I feel truly blessed, indeed.

Ayaq

P.S. - Edited to clarify that I'm not trying to brag.  It's just that I'm getting much more than I asked for, and I really do feel truly blessed.  I got tearful thanking the Lord for this excellent opportunity.

Feeling humble.

Of course they do my brave boy, who wouldn't ? now I want you to be careful there as you're not too used to crowds and cities coming from the wilds.

Unfortunately, despite fitting new batteries yesterday, my scooter is just short on range for the west coast, but I'm working on it.

Hope it works out for you buddy.
