to answer drifterdax:
i’m moving to a new city because my job is being eliminated where i am now. so i can’t wait. i’m not sure where i’m going to be moving yet, but i sort of want to use this opportunity to go someplace where i’m really going to like it — someplace that has a diverse, open community.
i’m an editor and graphic designer, and jobs aren’t plentiful, but i’m not too worried yet. my cv is pretty solid. and i’m not ready to “settle” for a job in a city where i won’t be happy.
