12877128, Las Vegas Move in Full Effect!
Posted by Very-Effortless, Tue Aug-11-15 01:29 PM
New York is 75% packed up and ready to go to DC this weekend.
I have a call with the movers tomorrow to set a date for them to come pack up my DC household.
I locked down the last 2 bedroom unit in the building I want (rent is literally only $150 a month more than what I was paying in New York where I had two roommates)... I got a 2 bedroom because I want a room for visitors... I expect a lot of visitors. Flights to Vegas are cheap.
I am going to buy a car on Monday, which the company will move to Vegas for me so that I don't have to deal with that once I get out there.
A week from now, I'll be landing in Aruba and spending the next 7 days laying on a beach reading trashy novels getting a tan and appreciating the fact that I'm in between jobs so there will be no emails piling up awaiting my return.
Debating if I'm going to set up a place for drinks on Thursday for any NYers that want to say good-bye, but I'm the queen of ghosting, so probably not.

Stay off the strip and you'll be fine. Lotta Detroit transplants out that way tell me the locals pretty much stay off the strip after about the first month or so.

Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then?
They don't want to call for peace then.

the strip holds very little value to me.
I don't even gamble.

12877149, Fremont Street is a bit more... interesting... if you will.

12877185, Thanks! Hopefully this new move will help with some of the quality of life

issues I've had the past year.
Less travel, more support and more of any opportunity to have a life outside of work.

12877173, Congratz! I wonder how much that Zappos money has changed

Zappos is a world unto itself. The major casinos and whatnot really don't bother with whatever Zappos is doing.
