I've been living in the Bay Area for 11 years, now. Ten of those in the Sunset (following one year in Alameda). All of them working for the same agency, on the same floor of the same building, though I've been in three nominally different positions and moved cubes maybe four times (never once by the window! So unfair!).
It occurred to me today, as I was pondering this on the same walk I have done almost every weekday for eleven years from my office to the subway (OK, for a while I walked to a different bus stop), that it won't be long before I've lived here longer than I lived in the town where I grew up.
It feels like time for a change. Too bad my job has me shackled with golden handcuffs; now is not the time to be looking for a new job, and even before the economic "downturn," I did not see any comparable positions with comparable pay. But I sure wouldn't mind moving out of the City.

Move to Berkeley! I love it... hippies aside.
