Haha I’m going to start referring to non-consultants as civilians too. That’s genius. Being a management consultant is like being in the military dontcha know.

You guys know that we are all annoyed when people who don’t travel often slow us down or do stupid stuff to delay our flights. Own your status!

You mean to tell me that not everyone is blessed enough to travel frequently and might not know how to move through security/boarding fast enough?

It’s downright HORRIBLE that OP and D2 have to suffer through such madness. Don’t these losers know how important you are?! 🙄

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
