[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zipcodes are often NOT competitive.  
This is a distinctly DC and NYC phenomena.   
No, not new to life.   I just have one.  
Zing! I win! Bye! 
(ooo, you are sooo mad now aren't you?  GO ALL CAPS WHY DON'T YOU, MR. LAWYER/LOBBYIST/INDUSTRY HACK!!!  YAY, A CHANCE TO VENT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOUR RDA OF POWER TODAY!!!)      [/quote]

It must suck working for some Fed agency, stuck in the bowels on Constitution ave. You came here thinking you'd change the world, and now all you do is change forms and forms and forms. You found out America doesn't care about your plight and by the way it's really expensive here. But you're stuck here because your "skill" doesn't translate into a job any where else. Unless you just want to become a clerk. Enjoy the exburbs tonight. Take those 3 hours driving home to think about it.[/quote]

You know what is really going to piss you off?  My husband is a federal employee.  We live in your neighborhood...or something pretty close to it.  Our house was not paid for by his federal employee salary, mind you.  We are lucky to have other family resources that enable to live close-in in a beautiful house with amazing schools.  We have curtains on our windows and furniture in every room of our house, too!  Wow, imagine that.  He doesn't shuffle papers all day long.  While he may not be "changing the world," he enjoys his work, works hard at it and knows that he is contributing to making this country a better place through his work.  We live right near a metro station, so his commute is so, so awesome compared to most.  We are not "stuck here."  His experience would translate very well into another sector; he is definitely not "stuck" in the federal workforce and may actually not spend his entire career there -- he'll do what makes him happy when the time is right for a change.  Granted, this is a good place to be for employment -- both his and mine.  And it's a great geographical compromise too in terms of where both of our families live.  We'll enjoy our home...not in an exurb.  We'll think about what you said while we sip our wine on our beautiful patio tonight.  You may actually have found that we are wonderful, intelligent, hospitable people who would have loved to have you and your family over for dinner one night...but you're a dick, so no.[/quote]
