I would sign up in a heartbeat if i could. Good luck, bb! It sounds awesome. We must have pictures! :)

lol, pictures will be had. Eventually. Right now I am truly overwhelmed
If you are curious, here is the realtor ad, with pics and zoomable map and all- it's cute, but needs some doing, and the season is starting RIGHT NOW omg I'm insane.

So, i tried to reply to your comment (with the link) and i get an 'unhandled error' page, whatever that means. And your comment seems to have vanished?

Weird.

Anyway - it looks cute! You should watch that show with the guy who fixes up hotels that aren't doing well - you might get some tips on how to bring in the customers! :)

My bad, apparently I screened it from everyone, not just public, but it's back now. Sorry!
hmmm, Something like that could be really useful, thnks for the tip
I don't really have TV, so I'm not sure what show you mean- it's not the Gordon Ramsay one, is it?
btw, if you guys want a vacation in the pacific NW- I owe you for hours of entertainment, you know? Seriously.

Hee! Sometimes, we just click the wrong ticky. :)

I was actually thinking of what is, apparently, called 'Hotel Impossible'.

I wasn't aware Gordon Ramsey had a show. But, yeah - seems like, the episode i've seen, mostly they want you to make sure you can see the hotel/find the hotel, and that it's *really clean*, and that everything works. Having stayed in some gross fleabags in my time, i heartily agree. :)

I love the NW - we lived near Seattle for a few years - and would vacation there in a heartbeat. :)

Congratulations! Hope you're prepared to never sleep again. Seems like something of a leap from your previous job, though.

randomstasis June 2 2013, 07:51:48 UTC

Thanks! Not like I can sleep anyway- so that was one of the attractions, y'know? Ideal position for an insomniac hermit. With trees! I'm going to plant fruit trees, and some nuts.
Real ones, not just me, I mean.

And ya, it's a departure. But you made me think about that- every job I ever had was a departure, and usually a huge departure, from the last one. It goes in circles, though. Or stuff crosses over, at least.

The capacity for change you have is a remarkable one. The more diversity you have behind you, the more adversity you can face down. I envy that.
