The girls at work are doing a painting nite (in our office, after business hours). It was $40, I signed up because I've always thought those sounded cool. Turns out wine is not provided or allowed AND we have to bring a food item. Wtf did I pay for then ? I have paintbrushes and construction paper at home, don't need your $40 tools to draw my stick figure.

I am seriously considering stepping away from fb until the election is over. I live in a rather conservative area and the number of posts I see singing the praises of Donald Trump and insulting anyone who would vote for a democrat is more than my mind can take. Wake me up when it's over.
sleepymonkey, I could have written your whole post. I like to get information about both sides, but the information found on FB is error-ridden and highly charged. 10 more months of this?

So, I got a new job in November - basically at a different business unit of the company I already worked for. Found out in late November that the HQ of new business unit is moving to Florida. Then I find out yesterday that they are moving our offices to these super crappy offices a mile away from current offices (in Connecticut). I am getting the impression they are getting ready to get rid of us, or make us move to FL. Hmmmmm.... what to do, what to do.
Yikes, requiressnacks . Do you enjoy the new job? Would you want to move to Florida? I think I would start looking, even internally.
Yeah, new job is good. My boss assures me that they aren't making anyone move to Florida, but I have been presented with the option. I think I will keep my eyes an ears open to internal opportunities though. I feel like I just got here though!

What part of Florida? That makes a big difference.

I feel the same way!
For me, it's like, I don't mind you posting about it if you do so in an intelligent manner. I'm all for a constructive debate. But all of the hate bullshit that people post makes my blood boil.

I know! My brother is the worst offender, which makes me really sad.

West Palm/Palm Beach Gardens
Palm Beach Gardens is nice (my in-laws live close to there and MH grew up there). I would consider living there if I had to move somewhere else in Florida. But it's crowded and more expensive than other parts of the state. However, we don't have state income tax and if they offer to move you without taking a pay cut, it would probably be like getting a raise. We recently relocated a lot of people from Long Island and Southern California, and their standard of living here in central FL is much nicer than where they came from.
kleigh no, just...no. That sounds terrible. sleepymonkey , ironbaby , ladytiffany24 I feel you...a few of H's friends are like that and u have to sit on my hands not to respond to some of the inane things they say/post. requiressnacks hmmmm...FL doesn't sound too bad (esp in January in NE!) would H be on board for a move? starbuck27 sorry about the headache and residual effects from bronchitis, that sounds rough!

Yes, I looked on Zillow briefly and noticed there aren't many bargains in that area. In my mind Florida is so cheap (compared to CT), but not all areas!

wannabmama, H is totally not on board with a move. I'm not really either. They would have to offer me more than just a lateral move. If it were a relocation with promotion I may consider it.
H is taking me out for date night, which is awesome and cute bc he never does that unprovoked...but...I'm exhausted and have a busy weekend coming up and sort of wish I could go home and snuggle on the couch and get my life in order...I had girls night last night and have drinks with a former CW tomorrow. I'm never this busy!

That's exactly how I feel. I really appreciate a civil debate but that never happens. The one time I commented on something my brother posted blaming Obama for something that had nothing to do with him, I simply pointed out the facts and he un-friended me for a few months. I avoid political discussions fb because they very rarely can be civil.

Yeah you have to look in the Stuart/Hobe Sound area, which is about 20-30 minutes north to get better deals on homes. Palm Beach Gardens is a rather wealthy area. Much of Florida is cheaper than CT but South Florida is the exception.
starbuck27, I really hope your headache subsides. That sounds awful. That's exciting about moving the furnace, though. How quickly will you be able to get the new one in and set up? I hope this doesn't mean you're without heat!

This is my life right now. My company has lik 80 plants in the US and they keep hinting at me possibly moving by the end of the year. I think I spend like 30 min of downtime looking at places we have plants every day.
Yesterday a job opened up in Chicago but that's a hard no for us. I want warmer weather.

The repair man comes this afternoon, then my fate will be decided. I'm hoping we can move quick and they can do it this weekend? But I've never had to replace a furnace before so who knows.
Ya we're out heat. We may stay with my parents a few days. Luckily it's warmed up and the forecast says we'll be above freezing for the next week.
YW on the burger craving.
Will they have to move a lot of duct work? A furnace can be put in in a day or two if a local supply house has it. But if there is a lot of ductwork that will be harder.

Yeah you may have just gotten there but based on circumstances I would be looking-either externally or internally. Companies can't fault you based on the situation.
