Oh Russian ROCKET you gotta get on this and sell the City by The Bay bro cuz sounds like you could emerge with a solid wingwoman here RR. As good as hauling a puppy everywhere you go where theres gonna be females RR.
Living in San Francisco is an experience people should have. Its a city like no other in the USA. On par with New Orleans debatably surpassing NOLA post-Katrina for uniquely interesting identity. I'm not always a fan of Bay Area folks' political intensity but I am definitely a fan of their passion and their general intelligence and cultural astuteness.

Mayan, apologize to Kraken.
Once you get placed in the number one enemy slot, you're forced to live a life constantly looking over your shoulder.
It's just not worth upsetting him.

I visited Jim Thorpe's house in Oklahoma. Somewhere on the road to Stillwater. Its like all the sudden there it is really not much warning at all. They have a tour. One of Jim's kids lost an Olympic Gold Medal of his in the yard. The lady there let me look around for it but she seemed annoyed because it wasn't a time of day where tours are given but she took me through anyways (hurriedly) then she only let me look for the Medal for about 10 minutes. I didn't find it.

I actually been here for 5 years i had a basketball scholarship but Im from canada so if i didnt find a job that sponsored me this year I had to move back.
PWC is price waterhouse coopers. Its the most profitable accounting firm in the world. Really awesome job! Glad i finally found a job! Funny though it took me a while to find a job and I landed the best one I could possibly get, and now I got like 7-8 other offers from places like bridgewater associates and such

Thx bear but I think SF is 4lengths clear.
When does it become worth it to work at a shithole you'd likely be miserable at? The money's great, pension, free continuing education all the way through pHd is desired. Great, great perks. But I'd be miserable. Not sure what the answer is

The answer is never. Some years ago I had the chance to move to the suburbs of Chicago to work at the corporate office. This would have been a huge promotion, chance to move up the corporate ladder etc. I had a few buddies from CA who made the move and they all told me it was miserable. I looked at the beach and all the other shit I have in LA and told them thanks but no thanks. Never looked back. What system would you be working at in SF?

Thx for the reply gaucho. I know you're right. More than anything I'm just disappointed it turned out like it did. I ran through what I thought was every scenario in my head prior to coming out here and the one thing I never considered was being in this position.
Ultimately , it's not a huge deal, I'll make a decision and life will go on. If nothing else , I got a free trip out of the deal

Everyone has worked at a shithole they're totally miserable at. Its a rite of passage here. You will ascend to a job you love or getting paid for doing something you love. More amazing opportunities exist in the region of SF than anywhere else on the planet except parts of China. Your destiny is unfolding in a very positive manner and the intense suffering of this miserable plague of a job will only make you stronger kraken.
Its OK to rest your head on the keyboard and weep and/or, at especially stressful times on the nightmarish hell of the job, when you're alone in the office hurl a water machine or a microwave through a window. Just locate the security cameras as soon as you arrive and you'll be fine.
Good Luck to you. Hasta Victoria Siempre

Baileys is infinitely more inspiring than I will ever be. I have accepted this. All the hard drugs you do on airplanes though kraken one of these days there gonna be wheeling you off on a stretcher. You'll likely catch a few charges. Felony shyt. I thik its illegal to be completely stoned out of your mind on an airplane kraken. Violation of the patriot act. I was stunned to learn that you go on a massive dopefest when flying. What is it, like, a "party" to you kraken? Flyin'?
I mean when you posted earlier that you plan to shoot up some Horse in the parking garage at the airport before you board and smoke some meth in the bathroom inside the airport kraken I was floored.
If you're gonna be that trashed on the plane kraken why not also carry a large Ghetto Blaster onto the aircraft with Dead Kennedys playing on it at about volume level 8?
thats what i'd personally like to see kraken.

Dead Kennedys on a ghetto blaster would be boss. You'd be bragging that you know how the niccas feel cold and the slums got so much soul, all the while backing it up.

I probably seem nonchalant about it now because I've been so stressed out about it for the last week. I'm comfortable with the decision. But I promise you, I've been anything but nonchalant the last week. I was born and raised in OKC. My entire life is here. And 10 years ago, my wife made a huge sacrifice when she left behind her entire life and her friends and family to come live with me. Now, I feel it's time to return that to her. She's close with her family, I'm not. Friends are friends, I'll love em as much from Seattle as much as I do here.
