I've got a new job...
Well, this is exciting news... I'm moving to the Silicon Valley in a couple months. I'll be living somewhere around San Jose, but I'm not quite sure exactly where yet. Well, that, and I'm also looking at living in San Francisco and taking mass transit south for my daily commute.
So the next couple months are going to be very busy for me. I'll be going through all my stuff, and trying to only take 25% of it down with me, with the rest going to Goodwill and the local dump. I'll be finding a new home for my Sony WEGA tv, because there's no way in hell I'm getting movers to carry that 350lb behemoth into my new place, the last two times I moved it was two times too many. I've had people move that tv into four residences in the past five years. I'll also be preparing my condo for sale, which should be fun, I'll end up making all the little improvements I wanted to do over the past couple years but didn't have time to do yet. Optimally, I wouldn't be selling it this summer but instead in early fall, but we'll see what kind of interest there is. I have a great view of Lake Union from my deck, so I'm thinking it will go pretty quickly.
I've worked out a budget for air travel, so barring any global crash in the oil market, I'll be able to fly back to Seattle every couple months and for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm really looking forward to exploring San Francisco's food options, and hoping that I'll be able to find a relatively urban place that has character. I wouldn't be happy in the suburban developments.
It's sad to leave Seattle, but I've never lived anywhere but here, so moving somewhere more cosmopolitan is very appealing to me. The next few months are going to be pretty wild.
