Bienvenidos a...Annapolis?

"Not fare well, but fare forward, voyagers"

-T.S. Eliot 

I am not moving to Miami.  And as amazingly unhappy as you might imagine me to be, I find that this resolution is actually quite a relief.  

I've spent the last 8 months of my life sending resumes, making phone calls, hitting up contacts to get a job down there.  One by one, everything fell through.  

Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something, as Lindsay offered.  If I was supposed to have been in Miami, I would have been there long ago-and not dealing, here, with tons of setbacks.

This means a lot of really exciting things. 

1. I can stay in the area, surrounded by people I love.
2. I am open to finding more than these temporary jobs.  DC is right up the road.  I anticipate I'll be able to find something way more easily (I've already put my notice in at Starbucks for August 1st).  There are already some really kick ass places that I have found to send my resume.
3. I have a lot of friends here...and zero friends in Miami.
4. I won't have to move all of my stuff to yet another strange location (I am going to uhaul my storaged possessions up to Annapolis at the end of August).
5. A lot of my photography contacts are in fact...HERE.
6. I'll be able to save LOTS more money than I would in Miami.
7. I am/will be infinitely less stressed out.
8. Venus (my cat) will be happier here (where she is allowed to roam the outdoors).
9. The trivia night possibilities are ENDLESS!  (Mike, you're so on!  Dan, Gabe and I are going to shut your little team down this weekend!)

So...if you have any tips/contacts for working in this area, help a sista out.
