    the further story of my adventures lol

    Ok some of you know I thought i had my dream job here in Long Island. Well the woman and the family ended up being nutcases lol 10 hour days of work 7 days a week with $50 a week pay if it was a good week . lol gave her 2 weeks notice she hired first answer from craig's list a day later. I have been living in an unfinished open basement with insulation falling on me from the ceiling lol.
    I started looking for live in jobs one was in a poor neighborhood but with nice people and another one was some more nutcases in staten island.
    Fast forward today , I am sitting here and found a bus to boston for $15 so I started looking for job in boston( though I really would rather stay here in nyc) I have found one. maybe 5 hours worth of work a day weekends off for 400. talked to the woman divorced doc 2 kids really really nice. As we talked we found out she went to prep school in the little town in ct where i was raised and said i would have my own room in boston with full use of the house and paid vacation and holidays. Sounded great then I tell her my catch that I am in Long Island and would have to come up to interview.
    Instead of freaking out she tells me she is interviewing at a hospital in manhattan and would I mind moving back down here Mind I would love it. Then she tells me she is trying to buy a townhouse by central park that comes with 2 studio apts and I get one of the apts. MY GOD these apts would easily rent for 3,000 a month.
    I leave for Boston on friday, wish me luck again lol

    I was concerned for you when you talked of your boss "dumpster diving" and getting brand new high dollar items for free. It just didnt sound right.

    Glad you found something better.

    Sounds great. Good luck. I love Boston. I went to university there and now live 30 miles west of the city. Congrats, it sounds like a good situation.
