I got the job on the West Coast I interviewed for last month. It’s a nice school, with nice people, a great boss, apparently ZERO tolerance for assholes. AND it’s a lot cheaper than New York City, with better weather.
So in a little more than three weeks, I’m packing up a U-Haul and driving 3000 miles with Junebug and Zuzu (who will be tranquilized the whole way, at least during driving hours). And in about eight days, I will be pulling into my new town and setting up house. And it might actually BE a house — I can get an entire house, with a yard and a gardener, for a few hundred bucks less than I pay for a studio in Brooklyn. Probably within walking distance of campus, as well.
I’m both excited and anxious. I’m also sad to leave New York and bracing myself for some severe culture shock.
That’s incredible news! Congrats!
Congratulations!
ahhh! congratulations! this is so exciting! i hope it all goes well.
Wow, congratulations Zuzu! Have fun on the cross-country jaunt!
W00t!
You know, whenever I think about moving to the east coast, I always think about how awesome the real estate prices are here.
Mazel tov! on the move!
The bagels out here are sweet rolls.The subway doesn’t run all night.Blessedly, so far; no snow or ice.They may get your jokes. They may not.You cannot get late afternoon lunch. Forget it.Nobody cares about Brooklyn.Yiddish is pronounced a bit differently.I think that’s everything.
That was supposed to be a list.
WESS-SIDE! Congrats!
Congratulations and good luck with the move!
It ain’t bad out here. At all.
Congratulations, zuzu. But aren’t West Coast housing prices high too?
It all depends on where you’re coming from, Unree. They’re a lot lower than where I live, but some of my coworkers said they thought the prices were too high compared to where they had come from.
Congratulations! This is really wonderful news. I hope it works out wonderfully for you.
