I know they had 2 months free for a while, would check on that

Try the Aston next door, rents will be a bit lower but better views if you're on the south side. Aston used to be an Optima before it sold to new owners

Honestly, the acts by orange Jesus over the past few days are truly appalling. If you’re sick, take some time off, no one is going to fault you. Take it serious. Ignoring it and playing down the severity to portray “strong leadership” is something I expected from Castro or Kim. I’ve got news for MAGA, you’ve been duped for a communist dictator in a democratic blue suit and red tie.

Currently at a job where I just don’t like people or the work all that much. Fewer clients possibilities (we’re basically an in-house team) than our sister office plus I have no desire for a promotion. Sister office is much more of an actual agency plus the culture is way more up lifting- I can vouch personally. I would love to transfer to the other office or just look for new opportunities. How do I bring up wanting an internal transfer without making it sound like I will leave otherwise?
