Boss had taken a week off, or something, because she didn't get a load of my resignation letter for a couple of days after I dropped it off at the office which makes me glad I wrote it since I was able to deliver the message not in person. I went the tame-and-polite route, just to save myself any kind of argument or hassle, but I'm told her reaction to it was still pretty epic, if a little unexpected. The west coast is a terrifying and unusual entity to her, representing a mecca of drug use, dubious musicians, masses of teeming homeless, and a living expense 5 times, in every way, the cost of the midwest.

She's less opposed to me leaving then she is me going to Seattle. Have I considered Louisville?
Honestly, I have not. Because I don't know anyone in Louisville and have no reason to go there. Still, Seattle is, I'm informed, the stupidest idea ever, which I guess makes me the stupidest person ever. Either myself or my father, who she lambasted for not stopping me.

Not stopping me? I'm 24. What's he supposed to do? Still, I guess it makes sense to her, since her son is pretty directly under her thumb. Anyhow, the scenario where he would theoretically try to stop me is pretty amusing.

Him: "Uh, I forbid you to go to Seattle?"
Me: "Bummer." ::flies to Seattle::

Granted, the long term implications are a little worse, but that's the basics on how it'd play out.

I haven't gotten any good writing or game stuff done, since I keep planning on filling idle work time with it and, gasp, my work time has been full of power outages every time I've come in lately. My day today looks pretty free, though, and outages are unlikely to continue forever.

That is, I'd like to go to the game, not to fucking Louisville. Goddamn. Anyhow, they've got horses, tobacco and rednecks. That's probably why my boss is more comfortable with it then Seattle. Home of coffee and, from what she tells me, stoned, broke musicians.

I wanted to ask how anyone lives there if cost of living is literally five times the midwest, but it would be a question to fall on deaf ear, most like.

Realistically, it's more like one and a half to two times the cost. And people live here because employers don't all pay a pittance like your cheap-ass boss.

And she's assuming I'm going to be making minimum wage forever, like I do here. Which is pretty absurd, really, but if that's her expectation, why would I stay?
