Where should I go next?

... and anyone says "to hell" and I'll flick you on the nose.

Job's about driving me nuts. One day back and I'm already irritated. A new record. I came into the office in a GREAT mood ... rested, happy.

Now I can't wait to get home.

So that's it. Time for me to go job hunting.

Having some leverage and flexibility ... where's my next adventure.

I'm actually considering either London or San Fran ... but I'm open to other ideas.

Where's a cool place in the world to live and work?

Find me my new adventure.

NYC,

Are you really sick of your job, or sick of where you live?

You are a very good writer, so what do you want to write about? What interests you? What kind of climate do you like?

Sorry that I am answering your questions with questions.

One more question, do you do any free lance work?

If you like a nice climate, and affordable living, south east asia is nice. Thailand.

Is it still kind of pricey to get an apartment there? Well, I guess it could not be any more than a place in NY.

I'm not a writer anymore Klynne ... haven't been in years. I'm an editor. I edit and design.

I love this city, but am not happy with the job at the moment. I've been feeling like this for two years now. It's an incredibly hard office to work in, it's finally wearing me down. (I could tell stories that would probably horrify you).

I'd love to find something else here in NYC, but it's a very tight market.

So either someone gives me a good suggestion for a new place to explore, or I'll do what I've done before -- throw a dart at a map.

I'm even contemplating Oz.

I would love to live and work in london. Orange County, CA is nice and relaxing.. kinda boring though. My vote is for London.

Do you miss writing? Do you like editing?

I like coaching and mentoring .. don't get to do a lot of that anymore where I am.

I just emailed Sharon Stone's hubby. Hopefully he'll call.

San Francisco would be nice and relaxing... beautiful, nice weather. Calming. Good people. Lots of cute gay men.

Of course - you'd have to change your screen name to GGBWriters or SFBWriters or something like that...

I would tell you to come to Cleveland, that it is the glittering center of a cosmopolitan hotbed of writers and artists the like of which has not been seen since Dorothy Parker et al. held forth at the Algonquin Round Table, but that would just be a bunch of bullshit I made up because I would like a friend who lives near me and you'd probably figure that out pretty quickly and get mad and leave.
