Woohoo! I was just about to go to bed when I realized that as of today (well…the 16th), I’ve been living in Seattle for six months! In that six months, I’ve found a solid 40-hour a week job with good possibilities for getting permanently hired on with Xerox at some point in the future; I’ve found a cute little apartment right near the Capitol Hill district; I’m earning enough money to be able to afford a high speed DSL connection to the Internet; and I’ve found myself a really wonderful girlfriend.
I think it’s official — I’ve managed to duck the Hellraiser chains that drag so many people back to Alaska when they try to leave.
