So, I'm trying to get out of my house (rawr, family issues).
I want to move to Portland but I don't know if I can until after the winter holidays which will probably end up being very awkward and tense.

But on to the main point of this!
I need to find good priced apartments (I'll probably be getting one with FateChooseMe cause she also needs out of her house) and a job in the Portland area.
I know it's like...really early to be looking for a job that I won't be able to start until around January or so but even an idea of where I could look when I get there would be great. [I have a food handlers card, too, so that's all good]

Same deal with apartments, it's early but I need some good places to look into.

And I'll take anything I can get so don't be afraid to suggest something peoples! I love you all~<3

Work: Fred Meyer's. Do you have work history?

Apartment: Look into student housing and low-income housing.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #3 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:30:07 pm »

I have no work history. I've always been too busy with school to ever get a job.
But I had a 3.86 Cumulative GPA and graduated 16th in a class of 575. So I'm hoping that will back me up a bit.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #4 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:31:36 pm »

Yeah, try Fred Meyer's. Safeway's also good. It's crappy work but it'll pay the bills and there are openings all the time.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #5 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:32:03 pm »

why not have me pay rent and you can still go to school
seems like that should work

Invader spleen · « **Reply #6 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:33:26 pm »

The place I live is 800 ish a month for two beds... sorta in the middle of the price range, though, I think. : ? So maybe not. But there are lots of cheap apartments in my area, though they are about a half hour away from most con events.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #7 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:34:59 pm »

yeah any apartment is spendy

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #8 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:39:32 pm »

Thanks Tofu. I'll remember that. ^^

Griff : D: I would feel bad if I did nothing to help out!

Invader : I live four hours away right now... 30 minutes would be nothing. >.>;

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #9 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:43:20 pm »

AND SPLEEN LIVES DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE.... So there'd be another plus. XD

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:45:32 pm »

no you would not

DancingTofu · « **Reply #11 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:56:52 pm »

Check out Lovejoy Station (really nice, low-income, kind of on the high end of the price range but nice and good location), Multnomah Manor (dirt cheap; this is where I'm probably moving into), the Terrace at Columbia Knoll (in the middle of the other two I just listed), and look into Beaverton and Gresham if you don't mind a max commute to get to downtown.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #12 on:** September 18, 2010, 11:58:52 pm »

Griff - Yes, I would... I would need to do something to feel like I was helping out.

Tofu - Kay! ^^
I don't mind distance as long as I'm closer than now and can get to a college for school when I get the chance to take classes.

Yeah, try Fred Meyer's.

I do not approve of this idea.
Well, depending on where the Fred's is. AVOID BURLINGAME AT ALL COSTS

also, i need to move out too, but i am in a similar dilemma.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP! I just googled "Multnomah Manor" and it's like, 3 blocks from where i live now

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #14 on:** September 19, 2010, 12:24:39 am »

my room mates are to slow to make up their minds

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #15 on:** September 19, 2010, 12:25:07 am »

Ichi_Kagetora · « **Reply #16 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:05:00 am »

You'd have a place Roscoe but you keep blowing your moniez. In the time you've been at fredies I've saved up nearly a grand waiting for you.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #17 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:06:11 am »

I has three grand just waiting for me to move out but again people i am planning to move with are slow at picking were...

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #18 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:08:41 am »

I would gladly move with you, Griff... ;P
But I would feel like such a burden to you...

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #19 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:11:00 am »

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #20 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:14:55 am »

A million... D:

Normally I'm a bother to people.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #23 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:20:56 am »

Ichi_Kagetora · « **Reply #24 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:25:33 am »

Ichi_Kagetora · « **Reply #30 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:30:50 am »

NOTHING scares me. Except the things my voices tell me to do...

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #31 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:31:31 am »

Yeah normally you should see a doctor about that stuff...

Ichi_Kagetora · « **Reply #32 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:32:30 am »

I'd like to but voice number 3 keeps saying the doctor wants to kill me.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #33 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:35:45 am »

Ichi_Kagetora · « **Reply #34 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:38:21 am »

Voice number four says watch out for Kris... and have you noticed Griff that ;like the same 5 people are posting an these threads tonight?

Yeah, he's got a point.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #41 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:51:29 am »

All I ever hear is you complaining about your job... >.>;

Ichi_Kagetora · « **Reply #42 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:52:08 am »

well the first step is deciding which part of town you are going to kove t. each are has a diversly different price range and group of people. My best suggestion is inner SE. The demographic is mostly lower middle class families and a lot of School goers. However that area is also flooded with Yuppies and hipsters especially along woodstock and Hawthorne. There is also deep SW and Beaverton. Out there you will find mostly upper middle class and a lot of richer families. Everything is spaced a bit too far apart though and jobs require a littlemore. however much can be said for the people in that general area. I'd stay away from deep SE as crime has generallly shifted from the interstate corridor in No Po to the long stretches of division andd 82nd Ave. There are a few up and comiong places in North and Northwest portland Most considerably the albina district which is becoming one of portlands best flourishing communities. However it's not the most estabilshed are and the demand is high there. There are however lot's of job opening in that area due to many new small businesses. As well there is much easy access to school in that are because of PCC cascade campus nearby and the Ywellow line max which goes Directly to PSU.

RoscoeTEHclam · « **Reply #43 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:30:19 pm »

I say we just buy a huge house and live there together and have adventures and a TV show
We'll call it "Kumori Shore"

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #44 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:35:11 pm »

You can try looking up on craigslist. That's how I found my current job. There's also homes & apartments available there.

Did someone say my name?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #46 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:38:10 pm »

So, moving out here, eh? That'll mean you can come to KCon general meetings, and possibly mean Chan!

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #47 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:43:46 pm »

Yes~<3
I really want to work staff for K-Con so hopefully when I move down there I can be more involved. ^^

Today my mom was talking about time lengths
Two days until my step-dad's birthday. 15 until mine. 77 until...something... XP
104(?) until New Years.
And I slipped in, "100-something until I move out."
And she went on and then she paused and went, "What?! It better be longer than that cause New Years is only 104 days away. D<"

I'm going to try and slip more hints through the year and then drop the bomb once I know I have a place to live down there.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #48 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:45:53 pm »

Hmm, well, I wish you luck my internet buddy!

Do you know where on staff you want to work?

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #49 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:54:23 pm »

Thanks Wash! ^^

I don't really know where I would like to work.
Anywhere I am needed works just fine for me as I'm not really picky. As long as I still get time to cosplay and be with Griff, I'm good. ^^
I'm fine working with people or without but with is harder. I'm a leader type so when someone doesn't step up and do things, I get agitated and take over myself to make things work better. I'm a pretty organized person and I'm good at taking sloppy things and cleaning them up in both efficiency and appearance to attract people. Plus, I like being busy. Sitting alone somewhere and doing nothing makes me antsy...
