More on that 4-letter word

Work. Or more precisely job-hunting.

I have an interview in Oxford tomorrow. It's sort of promising, and it's a nice place. Office itself is out in the middle of nowhere though. Literally surrounded by trees.

I would like a job. And while it's probably a bit early to worry about this; how the hell can anyone afford to live in Oxford!? The place costs a fortune! There's no way I could afford to buy a place, and even renting is expensive. Living elsewhere and commuting makes the job a lot less attractive. Honestly, for the cost of a 2 bed flat in Oxford, I can get a 3 bedroom semi detached house in Sheffield (and have change left over).

What I guess I really want is a job or long term contract in Sheffield. It means I can be close to [livejournal.com profile] flickums. It also means I could actually buy myself a place. And sure it's probably a little soon to be doing that what with current uncertainty in everything.

Nothing seems a particularly good option. Nothing good is available anyway. I really would like the perfect opportunity to fall into my lap.

AFAICT people afford Oxford by house-sharing, mostly...
