I’m new to California and it’s my first time living on the second floor of a building. I feel like I’m gonna sound crazy, but I feel like the building sways a bit. Is that a thing here? I know buildings are built with wood framing to withstand earthquakes, but is that supposed to cause some amount of shaking or swaying? Is this normal? Lol

Not on the second floor. On the 30th during an earthquake? A good time.

lol yes, we sway when there is a quake but if it’s swaying all the time you might want to get that checked

PSA-Please don’t conflate living in Los Angeles to living in California. The same rules don’t apply to LA as they do San Diego, San Francisco, or Sacramento. They might as well be different countries.

It’s about the same distance from Manhattan to Roanoke, Va and as it is from LA to SF and equally as different.

But yes ok I appreciate the genuine part lol. I do love it here too. But yea, I’m sorry but I’m just not gonna tip toe and be all self conscious about these little things I might say that might bother someone. It’s just too much work to try and please people to that large of a degree lol. I can accept that I might not be everyone’s cup of tea but overall, I am a kind person and I don’t say truly offensive things to people (like racial slurs or anything of that sort). If by mistake I generalize California, oh well. I’m not gonna lose sleep over the few that are butthurt by a comment that small and insignificant. I’d rather just be myself and happy and the random people that are not in my close circle of friends can judge me if they want. One lesson I’ve learned is that it’s just too nerve wracking caring what others think. I’d rather not allow myself to be consumed by that kind of negativity.

I have a two story house and if it’s really windy, I can feel some movement but not under normal situations. How tall is the building you are in? Are there underground parking levels?

I can help you with your resume and cover letter and LinkedIn optimization that we make you stand out among the candidates you can also update your resume to the latest template Dm me let chat

Maybe termites have eaten through the wood framework of the building.

No. They do monthly termite inspections. Just did one a week ago. Plus the building is renovated

I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?
