Anxiety disorder signs?? WTF? The wedding link made sense. This one is mildly insulting. =P
Anyway... I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!
I have to go in tomorrow morning and fill out paperwork for my new job at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. Here are the awesome things about it. 1. Hourly wage, even if I'm not doing massage. 2. Additional money as commission if I am doing massage. 3. Tips if they're given. 4. BENEFITS 5. 40 hours a week, and time and a half if I work overtime (I think, anyway). 6. Two meals a day provided free. 7. Free access to all of their facilities. They have a pool, a hot tub, and a weight room. 8. Did I mention the hot tub? 9. They provide the cream and the linens. 10. I don't have to answer phones or do laundry. 11. I'll be a member of the union they have there. 12. If I'm not doing massage they won't have busy work for me, so I'll be free to read or take my laptop and write. And get paid for it. 13. Everyone there seems really nice. 14. They won't book me more than 5.5 hours of massage per day, and I will get at least a fifteen minute break between appointments. 15. They are flexible with their scheduling, so getting time off for workshops, GenCon, or my honeymoon won't be a problem.
There is one bad thing--parking in Oakland. The meter will cost me about $4.00 a day, but that's more than balanced out by the free food. And hopefully I'll be starting early enough that finding a spot won't be a hideous nightmare. Anyone with experience parking in Oakland? Advise? I'd be happy to hear it.
Overall, I'm excited.

Parking in Oakland is a bitch. Don't rely on meters, you aren't likely to get one most days unless you're pretty lucky. Garage for the day is about $10.
Honestly, you might consider walking unless the weather is bad; it's not terribly to oakland and it's good excercise. Pick the right roads and the stroll is rather pleasent.
How early do you think I need to get there to get lucky? Paul and I are thinking about moving, and if we do walking won't be an option.
Also, how are you guys?
Good. DC Sucks, FYI. But since we're in Baltimore now, that's ok.
How early? Well, I was usually able to get a street spot before 7:30am when I commuted, and you can be sure that the garages won't fill up until around 10am. Truth be told though I much preferred the garage. Having to get up and find your car every 2 hrs becomes extremely annoying.
