march, in like a lamb

March, for us, was the cut-off date for only local job searching. While we live in an awesome place, it’s actually quite far from any good techie jobs (especially if you add in a commute to Boston), and when Chop was laid off, we decided that he’d search for six weeks within 50 miles, but after that, we’d expand.

I should probably say I decided, as my brain is the worry-about-everything half of the relationship, lol.

So this weekend we went out to dinner and discussed cities we’d be comfortable and happy moving to.

Granted, we’d prefer not moving for a few years (I’m kinda tired of it after last year’s fiascos), but I’m just not sure that will be possible.

We have some rules… there has to be an ocean close by (within an hour), a good music scene, low-ish cost of living (depends on salary), relatively good weather and the ability to easily get another job in our field if another one goes south.

So for now, he’s concentrating on three state capitals and two other big cities, on both sides of the country.

However, we are taking suggestions!
