windlion. . . So, I may or may not have dropped off the face of the internet for *cough* awhile. And while that is partly because of work, that is also partly because I am made of fail. Thus! One of my new year's resolutions this year is to stop being afraid to actually post on my bloody livejournal. For something that is supposed to exist as my personal rant space, I have a remarkable amount of stage fright when it comes to actually posting. It has occurred to me that that is Kinda Stupid, so I should just . . . post.
This brings me to my second resolution for the year: I hereby vow to actually make some sort of progress in my life. I need a better job and a living space that is not my family's house. Oh wise people who have actually moved out, doth thou have any recommendations on where a starting-level . . . er, anything, could find a place to share with comrades and also locate plentiful jobs within an hours radius? Where the rent and taxes would not be exorbitant? I am likely to end up either doing science temp jobs or attempting to sell my soul to a zoo in return for any sort of job, so I am not going to be rich, but between two not-rich twentysomethings, we're probably looking at renting a place anywhere between $300-$800 a month.
If anyone has any recommendations on how to get jobs that are not soul-sucking retail, I am also all ears!
