isn't about to be homeless
I may be sort of semi-homeless (I'll probably keep my residence here in WA until I can no longer legitimately claim per diem) until I can find an affordable place to live in or near Silicon Valley. Given that it is Silicon Valley, affordable places to live are about as common as unicorns that shit gold bars in my back yard.

As long as your definition of
near
iswithin 100 miles
(the news last night just commented that the inventory of homes for sale has gone up a bit. Of course, homes under 1M still get snatched up with multiple offers. But the ones over 1.5M are taking longer!)PS: I have a 15' trailer I'm getting ready to sell :)

Poor unicorn! Don't feed them gold, it's practically poisonous to them!

I definitely won't be looking for a place to buy. I'll be lucky if I can afford security deposit and rent on an apartment before I've gotten the first paycheck or two. I may wind up in an extended-stay suite, or something like that, for a while. I need to crunch some numbers to figure out what my take-home pay will be and what I can afford to do for living arrangements.

If your account was created before the first import, you will have the avatar you had during the first import two weeks ago.

And a private jet. And a private skyscraper. And a supersuit. And a virtually infinte power source. And a...
No skyscraper. I am shit terrified of heights.
My own plane is on the long term goal list. Maybe someday that could be upgraded to a jet. A Citation X Jet please. At some point in my life I want to ask, "Request permission to climb to flight level 5-1-0". :D

Status: ended up with two free lunches at work today, and also a free half-loaf of Irish soda bread. So I'm eating pretty damned well tonight.
Also I noticed a lot of wine bottle tote bags in the drawer, so next time I'm working late, I might somehow end up with some of the roughly 40 bottles of wine in our kitchen migrating to my kitchen, as if by magic...

Yeah, that's a really nice plane. Stupidly expensive, but really nice
I read an article in one of the aviation magazines a while back where the author copiloted a flight in a Citation X. He said that ATC asked them to repeat their request when they requested FL510, because it is one of the few planes that could fly that high and they thought they heard wrong.
The primary pilot said that was the typical response, and that you can have FL510 whenever you want because there is zero traffic up there. The Citation X is ~20K feet higher than most commercial aircraft at cruising altitude.

Status: trying to track down why an application is trying to cast a SqlException to an ApplicationException. Made worse by the fact that I can't recreate the error, and the original SqlException has no remaining record so I don't even know if it was a syntax problem or a network blip killing the server connection

That makes sense. How is someone supposed to use a keyboard with those tiny cheesedoodles he calls fingers?

where they asked us to inform our zodiac signs.
Ask them if they want your zodiac sign from when the Zodiac was created, or where the position of the stars are now.
Do you need to factor in relativistic time dilation, or differences in time-to-reach Earth caused by all the stars being lightyears distant from each other?
Then sue them for being Northern Hemisphere-centric and being biased against your Southern-Hemisphere beliefs.

Who doesn't?
Irish Girl. Because then either:
- She'd be having an out of body experience, and thus wouldn't be in bed
- Would be time traveling, and should really stop dallying in bed and be off killing Hitler
- Have discovered my not-creepy-at-all sex-slave cloning machine

Is that real?
