I feel like I'm being kicked out of SF...

it's almost Easter, and we had hoped for me to be there by then, but we still have not been able to find ANYTHING in SF. We still have no place for us to live in, and without that, I'm still "stuck" here away from Josh :-(
it seems like there's nothing available, and I feel like puking everytime I read those craigslist posts from companies that make it impossible to move in anywhere!
I'm sad. I'm frustated. But most of all I miss my sweet Josh!!!
the more time passes by the less and less I wanna move to SF.
I'm already sick and tired of SF, and I haven't even gotten there :-/

There are lots of other nice, affordable cities to live in out there. Hope you find something soon!

yes, I know, thank you.
for some reason Josh still thinks SF is a good idea. Me? I just want us to be able to start our life together SOON! :-/ wether it's in SF... or in rural New Hampshire (which is a possibility for us) or wherever! I just wanna be with Josh soon! |

Josh has tried everything there. walking around neighbourhoods to see if there's a sign somehwere, asking friends if they know if anything is available... EVERYTHING, while I looked online daily, and still nothing... NADA.... ZERO!
SF just doesn't seem to want me there. that's how I see it :-( |

you know, you might just start with a share... especially if it is a share amongst young students...
or housesitting is good too the thing about SF is you never really know which neighborhood is right for you until you live in it. I lived in Berkeley for years, but after many various housesitting gigs (gotta make friends with people who have cats... they LOVE to let you house sit), i discovered a few neighborhoods I really didn't like... and how did i find the best apartment? a friend i had known for years, but always met in restaurants and gatherings and such... one day i had to pick up something at her apartment and before she even buzzed me in, i was in love with the whole building. i asked to get ont he waiting list... and when the next apartment came up (three months), i got in because i was friends with her, basically got to the head of the list! so, just GET IN somewhere in the city... then let things flow from there. you don't want to end up in some snooty part of town or in what seems cool because there are lots of night spots, but turns out to be too noisy at 2am... |

SF is done with me.
The Sara issue is just the final straw.
Shared rental isn't happening for us in SF. NOTHING is happening for us in SF. Since both my jobs start before BART can get me there, commuting is out of the question. Adjusted for inflation, my income has steadily declined with each job, while my work hours mostly increase. Truly SF was done with me even before I got here, and I'm tired of the door to this place hitting me in the ass 24/7/365. Increasingly, I notice that the only people I see here who don't act like they're stoned most of the time are the ones I have actually seen smoking pot. The business community has crippled itself with HR people from the dot-com days who still cling to their own arbitrary personal agendas, which are usually ham-fistedly political, and tax-funded jobs all the way down to substitute teacher seem to be off limits to anyone with blue eyes and a cock. The city government are basically a bunch of whores, and even the most basic services for those who cannot afford them by working 7 days a week at 3 jobs are dispensed with a series of tacit 'fuck you's by people who don't seem to like on which side my keys are hanging. When I recently tried to get treatment for a respiratory condition resembling tuberculosis, they gave me my negative result and showed me the door. When I asked 'if I don't have TB, then what the hell is wrong with me?'. They said '[as far as we are concerned] nothing'; if symptoms persist, come back in a year and we'll test you again for TB.' Much of my general sense of what this city has become is summed up in my various Yelp reviews. (They're not nice.) Anyway, I'm half expecting SF to get hit by a dirty bomb 'terrorist' attack early enough before the November US presidential election that a connection can be plausibly denied, but not early enough to interfere with fleet week. Sara or no Sara, I don't intend to be sitting in a telemarketing cubicle in a dirt McDonald's shirt, sleeplessly trying to fight off whatever isn't tuberculosis when the depleted uranium starts raining down. I am reminded of the scene where THX 1138 decides to end SEN 5241's discussion about possible ways to escape... |
