So I'm on the phone with a real estate agent a friend used to buy her house, a woman up in the really-huge-house area of town who I've been assured is 'nice despite the inch-thick foundation and raccoon mascara'. She asks my salary and I tell her and this is her response: "Boy they really suck you dry in public health don't they? I mean you got starving artists, starving musicians, and starving malaria people!"
I've been recommended for a promotion but still have no hope of buying a cute place in a nice neighborhood until I attach myself to another wage earner. Stupid housing bubble.
