if i blogged every time there was a new development with the baltimore situation, i would have to start tweeting (and I will never tweet voluntarily. if i am paid to tweet, that's another story). i would also never leave the computer or get anything logistically done in a day regarding my move.
the bullets:
- waiting to hear back on an application and deposit i put down on a studio apartment in Charles Village right by Johns Hopkins. they'll get back to me tomorrow, i imagine. they want my money.
- after a slight snafu, i have to now transfer my Bank of America money from WA to a SC account. unfortunately, the WA, ID, and CA systems of BoA aren't aligned. this equals hours on the phone with customer services reps who keep repeating, "well, we can't see your washington information." I KNOW, THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU, i want to say. use my life as a warning for your own.
- going to court friday about a really stupid expensive ticket for nudging a car. that guy was so lame.
- applying for jobs in Baltimore/D.C. like mad.
- as of now, i have 76 hours left at my job. it's getting to the point of counting down hours, after yet another snarky comment about liberals from a co-worker. the Obama shirt on the last day will be well, well worth it.

aha, I like "use my life as a warning for your own." Good luck. If there's an opening in our e-mail exchange, I'll tell my editor to hire you for some education projects. Is freelance textbook writing okay? Not actually very fun, but sometimes you got to get paid. They're based in Baltimore too, so you could interview live or something.
I've found the same problem with my Bank of America. In fact, there's not even a Bank of America within one hundred miles of where I live. It's ridiculous.
They sent me a new debit card the day I left WA, and when I used my old one to make purchases for my apartment, they closed the account number. I was without money for a week waiting for the new card to be forwarded to my location.
And yeah...apparently WA BoA is about ten years behind technology wise compared to national. So fun...
