10% unemployment
you have had ideas of coming up here when there were jobs and now there are much fewer..
I wouldnt recommend it.

I would suggest staying or San Diego.
People are already jockeying for position for fall.. hiring has begun.

I have been giving ideas to folks re jobs because I have gotten them all year.. and no one ever listened. I now ask for fees, trade or minimum doantions for this. I do wish you well.

thank you.... I guess Seattle isn't the place than.... not yet anyway.

The main reason I wanted toleave was because I was hurting so bad from a break up. I spent most of last night talking to people who have dated people with ADD and refused to get help or stay on their meds. A lot of the statements their exs said (both male & female btw) said the same things (some exact) that he said to me. It seems like all of them said the same thing about temper and the in-between. When they were in control they were loving, kind and generous but during their temper they would say horrible and cruel things. Things the person knew would inflict the most damage at that moment. This is exactly what he did but he would either deny that he said them after wards or blamed me for him saying it or even that I forced him to say them. Yesterday was the worst. His words were so cruel that I truly felt like I would be better off dead. Now I see he was yet again only inflicting as much hurt as he could one last time.

I was attacked in Feb. shortly later is when I started dating him. I think it was because I felt I didn't deserve any better and I settled. Even though deep down I knew it was probably wrong.

The next step for me is to truly consider what might be the best healing process & location for me. I'm going to talk to a professional so that any choice I make is one I can feel was made on a solid foundation and not emotions. I do love Seattle and I really miss the Seattle area -- so many places I would love to see again. But before I make any choice I have to be 100% sure it is the best decision for me.
