You Know You've Been In The South Too Long When...
1) You spend hours searching the internet only to discover there are two jobs in the whole state in your present career field.
2) It is 80 degrees on Saturday and snowing on Wednesday...the same week.
3) You dream about sidewalks, malls, and sushi.
4) You discover your spell checker no longer redlines when you mis-spell of, as fo, because in the south spellcheckers understand that some clients say 'fo' rather than 'four' or 'for.'
5) You call the mortgage loan department at your local bank and are told the mortgage department is temporarily closed due to their former employee quitting to take one of the only two jobs available in the state in your chosen career field.
6) You receive an e-mail from the old sec (Yeah! Remeber her?? You're not gonna believe this one) an email which thanks you for the job reference (huh?) and tells you all about her brand new job... the only other position that was available in the whole state in your chosen career field!

PLEASE explain number 6.
OMG.
And number 1? That happens up here too. The position that I have 'trained' for for 2 years - 1 opening in the state right now that I found posted and it's 4 hours away. LOL.
Have you read P.M. Prescott's book "Optimus Praetorian Guard". If you haven't go to Audience of One and read his terrific review.
Reading Patrick on line is not as rewarding as reading the published book.
