Leaving this post public for now.
My 22 year old sister and I (26) have had a recent change in situation, and are looking for a room or apartment with a very limited amount in what we can pay rent wise. We're both working part time and are looking for more work, but currently out best offer is $1000 per month. We're mostly looking in Medford, slightly less interested in Arlington. It needs to be far enough out of the city to be affordable, but within walking distance of a bus for T access. We're willing to take a studio or a single room we can split. We don't have a lot of things except for clothes, admittedly, we do have a fair amount of clothes between the two of us.
If anyone is looking for roommates or housemates or knows a place that's open and doesn't mind two geeky minded ladies and one bunny (bunny is probably negotiable), we'd love to hear about it. You can comment here or email me at theocelotspots at gmail.
Alternatively, if you know anyone who is hiring in entry level administrative positions or archive/museum positions not requiring a masters, we'd love to hear about those too!
Also any advice, suggestions, etc are very welcome.
