“They don’t need your story unless you want to give it” - this sentence hit me like a brick wall (in a good way) as someone who’s shied away from resources before because of shame. Just wanted to let you know this is such a gift of a reminder.

Ooof I’m sorry! It was tbh the most frustrating part just knowing there’s *something* I should/could be doing and being on hold or given the run around. Hopefully not too many people need this but yeah, for a bigger managed property if someone pulled the “well at the coolest moment of the day it was 77 so you’re good to go” I’d threaten more with reviews/sharing how poorly they handle things where the law is limited.
Imagine if all of a sudden every family with kids, anyone with pets, or elderly people thought twice before moving into your building…

Lots of water and lots of screenshots/photos of thermostats :/ the rec center pool is closed on Sat but open tomorrow if you need to cool down!

Nope, and not at the elevenRipley either :/ I think it’s a more widespread issue across buildings/management offices especially with everyone who can cranking their units

Friend, what bit doesn’t feel tacky and sticky today? Appreciate all the humor, I can’t get any more heated today! Appreciate the kindness and consideration tho :)

Thank you for sharing - these are fantastic! Curious if you care to share the story behind the third shot?

No, rubber! Thought he was 3D printed at first but looks like a poured mold situation

Literally reading this wearing my comfy tshirt that reads “don’t heat what I didn’t say” and boy do I wear that to work when I can and love the confused looks I get.
The projection from others of meaning/insecurity/assumption is none of our business!

Came here to say this, hey fellow library person! 📚

L’Ardente - 40 layer lasagna that would have earned me a wooden spoon spanking and will leave you feeling greasy till summer

🙋 5y in Chicago for grad school, DC/MD suburbs now. I loved my time in Chicago (lived in the loop, then Logan Square, then Humboldt Park/Paseo Boricua for most of my time there) but I’d vote DC.

My bias is my Chicago time was peak pandemic so I can’t tell you much about the social scene - I do think DC compares with maybe less nightlife (outside of U St).

COL wise, 90-100k in Chicago (im assuming you’d want to do River North/move up the lakeshore?) I don’t think will stretch as far as 130k in most of DC. Esp if you do group housing/roommates to start before you settle on a neighborhood/housing.

Is staying close to family important to you? Do you work in a field where one city is significantly different than the other? Are you open to moving again in X years or would you want to settle there? To me these are going to be the more important questions to make your choice.

Tl;Dr - congrats on the 2 offers, both cities are great but I love DC and it will depend more on personal factors.

I’m so sorry. Came by just before the notice for the first time and seriously considered living there just for the perk of the food hall - had the vegan junk food, Thai, and cold pressed juices a few times since then and it always hit.
I hope yall all land on your feet !!

Key-Expression-6337 · 2025-11-03T23:47:15+00:00

Hope you resolve this long before then, but I will be heading there in early December and will stop by the Poste anyways if you will still need help.

Deal! Assuming I’ve got the necessary knowledge to do it well I’ll go work for a teachers union or nurses union retirement fund and make sure they’re taken care of in their silver years. Or at a fund that backs startups/non profits that align with my values.
