Seattle! How is it now? Are there jobs? Should I move there?

What up Rev

Hot chocolate/mulled wine party at the Jaqs house tomorrow starting around 7. Y'all come. Email isthatpie-wp @ yahoo.com for address/directions if needed. Non-perishable food items will be collected for local food banks if anyone wants to bring anything.

Jaq took me to see the troll! You dears.

Gravel Puzzleworth climbed into a cow suit at the troll too, so very long ago. Miss you, plz come visit us.

yeah, i got the facebook invite!

(I was just what upping back to your what up there - rest of message is for other potential seattlxors who didn't get the memo)

aw, miss y'all <3

Have fun tonight, Jaq! Tell people I said hello.

me too!

just stumbled accidentally on a blog by a locavore couple based in seattle w/ some pretty beautiful pics of local produce and *sigh*.
last year's chard*, never forget:

*literally the best chard i've ever eaten.

Tomorrow will be my first post-bigfreeze trip to the farmers market - hoping for best/expecting the worst. An early freeze in '07 wiped out my favorite kale.

Sorry I couldn't make it, jaq. Was at rock show with pissed jeans, wolf eyes, etc. Had bought ticket a while ago.

Was thinking about all y'all recently -- not being there in April for EMP is going to be a little weird! Might see if I can swing a separate trip up there and to Portland next year if feasible.

I'm sorry I missed you guys last night! My new work schedule is killing me. Higgs made a valiant effort but I managed to sleep all day. And all of the night!

hi, seattle.

a+

Seattle people (or those wanting to move here, though I don't think moving expenses are covered) - I need to hire two software testers (possibly SDET but not necessarily). Agile familiarity a plus; a+++ if familiar with the power industry (generation/transmission/distribution) or pipeline distribution or other large scale scada type stuff. My ilxmail doesn't work, send to isthatpie✧✧✧@ya✧✧✧.c✧✧ instead.

oh, right

isthatpie-wp @ yahoo. com

there ARE jobs :)

i liked this: http://citytank.org/2012/03/21/seattles-got-the-transformational-moves-like-jagger/

a lot going on. the north lot development will be a wonderful addition, more housing in that neighborhood

can i have one? (i think amazon is kind of evil, tho)

Living in Pioneer Square was weird, but I loved being so close to King Street Station. So simple to catch bus/lt rail to anywhere.

beautiful

oh my, i can see my old place in that picture. i miss seattle so much :(

what happened to daisy, is she still there?

she was thriving when i was in seattle in september. i can't believe it was so long ago!

Ms. Ivy is doing great btw! She has been living behind the winter lettuce in the rays of the grow light.

i have missed reading about those tarts.

I can't believe this, but I confused ivy and daisy in my previous post! Clearly ivy is in better, more responsible hands with jaq , bless her.

poor daisy :(

r.i.p. daisy. you gave her some of the best days of her short life.

i'll say, before tehresa took her in she had awful thin drizzly hair and she had to live on a stoop.

She just couldn't resist that leaf miner, led her right down the primrose path.

tsk.

saint tehersa, savior

did you know: she is actually my namesake?

aw<3 no i did not. but i always liked her.

two people killed, three wounded at my beloved Cafe Racer, another killing downtown about an hour later. what the fuck is going on here?

http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/05/30/another-shooting-police-warn-seattleites-to-stay-out-of-active-scene-on-roosevelt-way

wtf is going on, idgi

Somebody shot at Folklife over the weekend too

at least there's a new 24 hr diner. that evens things out

no

no

:(

downtown shooting a few blocks from my place and on my walk to/from work

Another (allegedly) mentally ill murder-suicide involved in all of it today. The Kyle huff thing from 6 years ago came to mind.
Hope there is a benefit for the family & friends of the victims. Too numb to say more.

there's a motion to get as many people on Friday to attend music shows as possible, given that some of the victims were local performing musicians. I like this idea a lot for many obvious reasons.
Also, you'll be able to buy vodka at midnight at certain supermarkets. yay?

woman shot downtown apparently the wife of someone a close friend works with (not an officemate, but a frequent consultant)

so, i spent the past week in seattle and faced heavy pressure from my extended family to move there. i kind of want to. it was beautiful weather. i went to the park every day. the lake glittered! but i hate driving! and traffic! should i do it??? i'm in an active job search, so maybe i should just look for jobs in seattle? i'm very torn. pros, cons, etc?
