forward

So okay.  DCfolk.  Here I come.  I'll be in Cleveland for a bit at first, of course; my mother made a special point of reminding me that she'd been looking forward to having me at home for a while and thus she hoped I wouldn't go haring off the minute I landed.  However -- I will need a job and also a place to live.  With this in mind, please do me the great favor of letting me know if you know anyone who's hiring for a job you think I'd like.  (Everyone on my flist who's in the DC area knows me well enough to know what that sort of job is, I think.)  Also, if you happen to hear of an apartment you think I could stand living in.  I've got craigslist on the speed-dial, but it never hurts to have more people paying attention.

Well -- not that I don't enjoy a good wallow, of course, but see earlier post re: sinus headache. So, you know, on balance, what else am I going to do?

While we're on the subject, do you know this neighborhood? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/apa/176713646.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/apa/176713646.html) Any thoughts (other than 'omfg tiniest kitchen ever')?

Well, the Long Branch library is over near Carroll and Flower; I vaguely know the area. It's sort of on the border between the nicer parts of Takoma Park and the Salvadorean neighborhoods of Silver Spring.

I think if you were going to have a car, it would not be a bad place to live. But it's too far from the Metro to walk, and the Ride-On buses are pretty much just commuter lines; the evening and weekend service is patchy. So if you're going to be living car-free, I'd look for something closer.
