elwing's Journal: New Job!

Well, after months of looking for a new job, I've accepted a position with FoundStone in Washington, DC. It sounds like a great job, and I start on Jan 20.

It's just so damn expensive to live down there. Lethyos and I found an apartment in Rockville, MD, and we're paying almost $1500/mth for a place that's smaller than where we live now. And today, I called to get my auto insurance transferred down there, and f*** it's expensive. In PA, I pay about $500/yr for car insurance (and I'm not even 25 yet), and I'll be paying $1200/yr down there, and it will drop to $600/yr when I turn 25. I've got all kinds of discounts too: good student, accident free, multiline....

On another note, my thesis is done! and I will soon have a Master's degree from Carnegie Mellon University.
