Going from Edmonton to Calgary is ALWAYS a move up.So, since I've been doing fuck and all lately, I took some time off and decided to go spend the next couple weeks in Calgary with my girlfriend. Fuck this town, fuck this job, fuck this loneliness and fuck off boarder.

That's amazing!WE JUST GOT THE HOSPITALITY APARTMENT! This is a two bedroom apartment, 7 blocks from the hospital, we'll be able to use it for the entire length of her treatment... and the absolutely huge part... only $100 total for that month. Yes, $100 is not a typo.
There's something to be said for that. If your neighbor offers you a burger he's grilling at his barbecue if you come over (for free), the average person may or may not decide to go eat it.Another short story sold!
At what point do I stop putting these in epic win? Well, not yet.
I've submitted to a lot of non-payment publications this year, no acceptances, while every acceptance has been a paying market. Not sure why, but I'm wondering if I should stop submitting to the ones where I'm offering work for nothing.
I don't have an official offer yet, but I just got a handshake offer for the position. Plus, 15,000 more per year than I asked for. Holy shit.I have another sit-down interview tomorrow. Nervous about it. It could be a really cool opportunity at a cancer genomics start-up. I am not a cancer genetics expert so I will be spending all my free time between now and then reading review articles. I hope to post in the Epic win thread for this one.
If you weren’t expecting the extra $15k/yr, then it should be real easy to put at least $10k/yr into the rainy day fund, right?The downside is that most startups fail.
That's what my wife and I are discussing. That's a hell of a rainy-day fund, but that seems about right given how long it takes to get a job offer.If you weren’t expecting the extra $15k/yr, then it should be real easy to put at least $10k/yr into the rainy day fund, right?

Over a year later, I still occasionally have momentary flashes of panic trying to figure out how I'm going to pay my $2000 rent, only to snap to and remember that our mortgage is very nearly half that amount.We just got our first mortgage invoice yesterday and I cried. On top of the whole "real adult" feeling, it's less than what we were paying in rent. I knew that going in, but it wasn't real until now. And it won't be going up every April like the rent did.
We've had some serious reshuffling of our expenses, too. We know things are going to improve, we know how quickly, and we know exactly how it's going to go. But because these changes are all happening right now (and some are even still in-progress), that means we aren't feeling the benefits yet, which means it's hella frustrating to have to constantly be reminding ourselves "Yes, we did the things, and 2019 is going to show so much improvement, and 2020 will be even better, etc...but that means we have to wait until 2019 to start actually benefitting" stupid long game mentality ruining my need for instant gratification rrrrhghghghrrhllll...We just got our first mortgage invoice yesterday and I cried.

I dunno, the show ended before I was born, but it was pretty well known, pop-culturally. I can't remember if I've seen a full episode, but if you called a kata team The Sweat Hogs, I'd get it.Mr. Ka-ta.
I am old enough for this reference. I don't know if they were reruns when I was a kid though.
