I thought it was the Romans throwing Christians to the Lions. AND WHERE DOES THE POPE LIVE, HMM?

Vatican City? ... It is a separate political entity surrounded by Rome but not technically Rome.

My first real 6am shift in over a month.
On new meds - stupidly drank caffeine after taking them, so I was up until 2am.
Dreamed about not getting enough sleep for three hours (there were at least puppies involved).
I'm angry at my brain
(and anyone perky at 6am. Fuck you people)

I don't get up until 6:30-ish. And I'm sure as fucking hell not perky. I do arrive at work around 7:30 in a better mood than I used to be at that hour, but that's largely because I bike to work and that helps a lot. Endorphins, et al, are amazing.

My local housing market.

I'm trying to buy a house. Trying. The inflated prices on what are 900 sq. ft. heat traps with dubious ability to stand up to an earthquake are insane. The condo market is better but $700 mo. in HOA fees on top of a mortgage payment on a building constructed in 1969 and looking every minute of it?

Ugh.

Well, I guess I can always pay $1900/month of a 500 sq. ft. box with paper thin walls and additional per month parking costs. At least its got laminate flooring!

Being in line at a Subway restaurant (eat fresh!) waiting to place my order. Two people ahead, no biggie. One of them places an order for eight sandwiches.

Argggghh.

Around my parts, $700/mo. will get you a pretty decent 3BR/2BA single-floor, stand-alone home.

Maybe you should consider moving elsewhere?

Miss Demeanor · Sep 30, 2015, 7:07 PM

@Ganymede Damn, I want to live where you are. 700/mo isn't likely to get you much here other than laughed at...

@Ganymede You had me until the snow. I moved away from the snow because I dislike the cold. XD

Then you shall pay for your unwarranted, unreasonable prejudices, madam.

@Ganymede

I've thought about it but for now, its not where the reality is at. I work for a tech company but they have strangely not terribly progressive feelings about telecommuting. They're slowly coming along but several key upper management individuals come from that old school of productivity only happens in the office. (Which given how much the person to the left of me is on Facebook and how much the person to the right of me is away from their desk to socialize... not so much but I digress). But I really like my job and I have a solid, long term future here with increasingly better scale and more than decent stock options if I just stick it out a few more years.

I can afford to pay that much in rent a month but there's no sane reason to do it. I have years to go on my student loans and I'm the child of immigrants so I've had beaten into me that it all could immediately go to shit tomorrow so pay for things in cash and avoid living on credit as much as you can.

The real estate market prices here were driven up by people rushing to buy before the interest rates were going up because everyone was certain they were. Now that they're not, the inflated sense of urgency is predicted to flip on the market and go from seller to buyer and inventory will go back up. Also, a major international corporation was all set to move a major North American operations base here and transplant employees were paying cash for houses and waving inspections to rush closing in anticipation of that happening. This was making it harder for people wanting to buy with Homepath loans and wanting inspections for basic thing like y'know, your house not having a foundation made of prayers and cheesewhiz. That deal has soured and the corporation is likely going elsewhere now.

So, things are probably going to get better. I hope.

Are you and your partner the only people under fifty in Dayton? 'Cause, damn, there's a lot of old going on there.

That said, Dayton does have Bill's Donuts going on for it. Goddamn, Bill's is fantastic.

There's plenty of young. You just have to know where to go. And when.

When my fucking writing professor marks me off for using et al. correctly. I mean, I get it. It's Latin, and you Ph.D. is in english, so maybe you've managed to miss the little things with it, but goddamn, at least doublecheck before you deduct points. And of course he's the one asshole who just gets even more critical and pissy when you prove him wrong. How the man fails to grasp the difference between etc. and et al. (I was referencing a list of authors, for chrissakes) is beyond me.

I'll bet he'd dock you for using the Oxford comma too.
