Why are you heading south if I may ask? Work?
Nope. Not this time. Family.
As in-all of my wife's and my family is in the Southwest now. The only thing that kept us here in the frozen tundra was our jobs at a local large Midwest university.
My wife left her job at this particular university in 2010. She works from home now and has been doing very well. She could do what she does from any place with a high speed internet modem. No, Onime, it's not that. [:-][:D]
When my oh-so-dear boss of 12 years told me last year to take a 25% pay cut because the departmental budget wasn't so great, I told him to get stuffed and resigned within 48 hours.
As neither of us is held in sway by the monolithic university any longer, we decided that it would be nice to be around family-particularly since our parents are getting elderly and we'd like our kids to grow up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles.
Oh. We won't miss the bitter fucking cold either.
