Random Rants

While I was on vacation last week, upper management decided they would move my team up the road another 30 minutes away from my home. The presentation was: "We're going to move to this new location soon, we'll let you know when. It'll be temporary, but no longer than 2035."
...Well, thanks for your consideration but, I simply can't drive a 3-hour round trip commute. 2 hours is my max, and I'm already at the limit.
It's office space. When they move, most will stay behind, but I was denied this and they're acting as if I'm being fussy. Time to find a new team.

This…this is not the cool autumn weather I’ve grown accustomed to here in Missouri. Down vote.

And I know it’s a broken record at this point but it really sucks

@SKT My brain broke for a few hours yesterday on the fourth day in a row of temperatures in excess of 38°C/100°F here in Sicily. Today we had a pleasant 32°C/89°F

@Tago-Mago I really do feel for you and for everyone dealing with the heat this summer. Puts me in a mood

[Tago Mago]

@SKT the forecast was for 86°F up until a couple of days before our flight. Then it was 100° Friday/Saturday, which extended to Monday. The rest of the holiday should be the 86° I was promised

I love summer, but I'm ready for fall now.

31 years in the Atlanta area and another five on the coast in Central Florida. I’m working on a change of scenery, at least for the summer months. I’ve had enough heat, traffic and concrete to last me a lifetime.

@northsouthdenimguy Build me a guest house, I'm on board.

@GoodtimeJohnny

It might be a long commute from Highlands, North Carolina to the Northeast.

[ROman]

@northsouthdenimguy Its only about 4.5 hours from Charlotte, depending on traffic

[steelworker]

@endo the reverse is also true

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@northsouthdenimguy I'll make it work

Not actually a rant, because things happen.....

Mrs International, gold card carrying, business traveller @Madame-Buttonfly is off to Provence for a week at a yoga retreat.

The taxi picked her up at 06:30, at 08:00 whilst I was prepping my fishing tackle for my own trip next week, my phone rang. It was her at Heathrow without her bleeding passport.....

Dropped everything and jumped into the car (probably crossed paths with the taxi on it's way back from dropping her off). She still had time for a glass of fizz in the lounge before boarding.
