Some companies still offer "free money" and dollar for dollar matching in a 401(k) account so my take home would be even less because I don't really have any retirement savings and I would want to take advantage of that. The reality is to live a "normal" life in SF you need about $60,000 or...

So most people don't post financials on the internet. Here is a vague version: 1. Studios and 1 bedrooms in SF cost $2000 - $3000 per month. Look it up on craigslist if you do not believe me 2. Utilities are probably 100 - 200 on top of that 3. Commute (even if only one bus pass is needed)...

Step one: buy tent Step two: buy sleeping bag (I live in a studio and over time got rid of what I wasn't using daily).

Jim, It is a long story but unfortunately I was not hosting the site and the person who was hosting it accidentally lost all my data due to hackers. With my job search being a priority the only thing I can do now is search internet archives and rebuild when I can. I have called Go Daddy and...

Then where was I going to stay or was the invite fake? (back from Reno 2012 but then again you and I and Mary were drinking at the Purple Board's party). Kimberly

This reminds me of the time that my flap motor failed on a rental and I had a fellow Pilots of America pilot on board as my passenger. That person had thousands of hours and since this was on our way home, I knew during my preflight that I would have to land back home with no flaps. I was a...

This is great, now everyone please come to the 51st Annual Reno Air Races. Much smaller than oshkosh but a lot different. I will be on a race crew again this year. We hold down biplanes (12 at a time with 3 crew members each) during the runup on the runway so that the pilot can rest his legs...

That was a temp job. They hired (behind my back) externally. If I would have known that I was never being considered for the job, I would not have accepted the position.

Can we please give back the thread to the airplane owner? I dye my hair to look like a redhead. Lots of girls do. I am, by birth, a brunette. Pretty boring. So, with the green eyes and light skin . . . . I can "pull off" redhead no problem. Kimberly

I have signed a one year lease in San Francisco. I am not moving. Also - 375 jobs on Craigslist match "EA" right now in my area. I just need to hang tight, things are coming along. Tomorrow I have two CEO-Level (final) interviews. If these two don't work out I may have 10 more with a few...

I have signed a one year lease. I am not moving.

I wish I could buy Dan's 150 and do this with my flight school. I know the owner and am friends with the mechanics. A good friend of mine does lease back and his last 100 hour cost him several thousand dollars in maintenance . . . something that, if only he flew the plane, would not have shown...

Google does have openings and I have applied through someone who works for Google Glass. Even with all that, they have not called me. To get into Google you have to be a superstar. I am one, but my last job at a non-tech company . . . does not appeal to them. Google is one of the best...

Wow, haven't been to POA in months. Some updates: As mentioned, I was laid off in April. I did look for high paying work and finally found something in June. The only reason I accepted a "temp" job (I hate temp agencies) was because I was told I would be considered for the position. This...

Dan - sorry to take over your thread. Back to selling the 150. I talked to some flight schools in Petaluma about your sale in June or July but they said you already had a few interested buyers? Did those people fall through? You should walk over to PPTC and talk to the owner and see if he...

Mike, I just signed a 1 year lease. I love Texas (to visit) and have many friends there. But I do not like the flat, the heat, the bugs, or the humidity (none of which SF has). Texans are really nice people too (you included). It just isn't my state. I'm a California girl.... sorry! I'm...

Just to cross the Golden Gate Bridge is $7 per day. When I would drive from Marin County to my temp job in SF working for the CEO of a startup, parking was CHEAP ($9 per day). With toll, gas, and parking . . . . I was easily spending $20 - $30 per day just to drive to the job. I was losing...

I did not click on the link but the URL says Arkansas? I just signed a 1 year lease in SF so my job search is in Downtown SF and Silicon Valley only. Thanks for the help, but the job market is actually booming and I've had 5 interviews scheduled this week! Should not be long until I'm...

Cafe Press actually sells that slogan on a T Shirt. And no, I'm not married. And yes, it is a long and complicated inside joke.

Nope, and rents in SF are skyrocketing. I found a deal and will be moving to San Francisco (my mom is a landlord and I signed a 1 year lease with her). I continue to look but last week I had interviews, and yesterday I had 3 interviews, and Wednesday I have 2 interviews (both second / final...
