Roommate Problems
by Scott Horowitz on October 30, 2006
So, let's talk about my life. I moved to Jersey City, because a close friend (and my roommate from college) was going to be teaching here, and it would not be a bad commute for me to work. Teaching didn't work out for him, and now he's looking for ajob. He got an offer near Baltimore, a little difficult to commute from here. He hasn't accepted the offer yet, but if he does it'll be a pain in the ass for me. I asked 2 friends to take his room if it happens, and both declined. I cannot afford the place by myself (Hey, NY area is expensive). I am not thrilled with the potential for a random roommate, have heard too many horror stories. I just don't know what to do if he accepts the job.

The Flight from hell
So, here's the story from my flight back from England. I flew back from Gatwick airport, which was a blessing in disguise because Heathrow was a nightmare. The people I was traveling with all had earlier flights than me, and since we had to check out of the hotel, I just went to the airport early. Go »Karaoke
So, last night a few friends and I got together and went to a Karaoke Bar on Christmas Eve (what else will Jews do). We're sitting down enjoying a few beers, then my friend goes. "I think Eli Manning just walked in and sat next to you". Go »Roommate Solution
So, the roomie didn't take the job, so we're stuck together for the near future.. Go »Eurotrip or How I learned to stop worrying and love flying internationally.
So, let's start at the beginning. I flew out from LaGuardia airport in NY. Since, I used mileage I had crappy flights and had a connection in Boston. Go »My Boss
So, I've been at my new job for a little over 4 months now. I have to say I am very happy there, and one of the main reasons is my boss Jim. The main thing I like about Jim is the fact that when I do something good or important, he'll say "Good Job" or "Thanks a lot". Go »
