It's simply not fun to wake up and realize your heat's out...again.

I guess not having a job really does have its downsides. :p

I've been to the coldest home game in Tampa Bay Buc's history, a 28-degree (or thereabouts) affair vs. Pittsburgh. Rolling blackouts for Christmas that year thanks to transformers blowing all over the place in the cold and many plants having generators down for maintenance.

It can get plenty cold down there...

May 3rd and we've had a couple of light snow showers roll through this morning. I really, really, really want a job back in NC before next winter (which, if this pattern holds, will start by, oh, about September).

I'm reminded of the narrator in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who mentioned that during one year of the quest that "Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight into Autumn". It certainly seems like that could happen at this rate.

Computer programmer, but my problem is I'm best trained at a computer language that no one has ever heard of (it's very specific to one particular field dealing with survey research). I'd like to move in a slightly different direction to something like GIS, but I'm in that catch-22 of needing experience to get a job, but I need to get a job to have any experience. Actually, that's true of any straight programming job as well...I do have experience with VB 6 and VB .Net, but not a lot of practical application of said languages, IOW, not a guru.
