I'm going to get manhandled for this, but I do not like BBQ sauce. I like barbecued things (smoked meats and the like), but not the sauce. I've only ever been to one BBQ restaurant in the twenty years I've lived here
Yeah, I am really not all that unhappy. Plus, like I mentioned, this company rocks. I was very happy to be a part of it.
This is funny, though: My position just got listed under the new jobs section and a mass email went out stating its availability... in North Carolina. Humorous slap in the face.
I think that you should master the art of Kansas City BBQ while you're still there, and then move to Connecticut. We need more good BBQ restaurants up here.
There are indeed shitty parts of FL, and some odd people. But as shitty as it is where you might be, you always have a beach nearby. consider that when you complain to someone that is surrounded by corn fields and fundies.
(my pops lives in Jax, btw)
oh, and to me, Orlando is far shittier than a bug infested swamp. Such a plastic, gross place. D:

I've been to Florida and I've been through hell. When I die I won't be spending eternity in Florida.
Just had a "Development Team Meeting" where my bosses bosses boss came and let my department know that they are moving the whole thing to Denver (from ~Kansas City). They are doing 1 on 1's with everyone this afternoon to discuss options. Good thing I have absolutely no attachment to Kansas.
Just wanted to vent slightly. Sorry.
/cue sad Snoopy music
Update:
Just got done with my 1 on 1. My position as a whole is being eliminated, so there is no option for me to move to Denver unless I apply for a completely new/different position. The move is happening roughly at the end of June 2011, so I have lots of time. This seems like a sign to move to Florida with my SO. I mean, I'm getting two months of severance and then a lump sum after that.
Should I be thinking of anything else?

...I don't understand the relevance?
Yeah, I love it here. I feel like any lover of water sports, fishing, or golf, would. If you get bored here, it is because you want to be. :hmm:Orlando used to be great until Disney invaded. Even after Disney it wasn't too bad until every other tourist attraction on the planet decided they needed to locate there as well. I just got back from 6 days in Cocoa Beach. I forgot just how much I loved that whole area back when I was stationed in Jax and used to spend weekends down there at a buddies place in Melbourne. I would move there in a hearbeat if I could find a job.

I used to live in Fayetteville for a brief time. NC is not better than anything
