Well, the drive down to Florida went alright. Except for the crazy wind in TN which felt like my car was going to tip over at ALL TIMES. That little ordeal put me behind 4 HOURS!! I ended up crashing in Murfreesboro TN because I forgot the debate was in Nashville that same night...no hotels.
I crashed in Gainsville, FL last night because I was bored driving and felt like checking it out. Finally got to Fort Lauderdale today and stopped by my new job. Tomorrow were going to see the possible locations I can work at. For the mean time I'm calling my home, er hotel. Once I figure out where I'm working I'll start looking for a place around there.

Pictures and whatnot from my trip and my home (hotel) will be posted when I find somewhere to live and get internet.

I think its really cool that you've boldly relocated, to work at a job that you'll probably like a lot. I've only been to Florida one time, about a year and a half ago, and I liked it a lot. I know you're going to be pretty busy for the near future, but keep us posted on your progress.

Yeah, Didier has a respectable plot of land still. I mean, if there used to be more of it, I can only imaging that it was HUGE.
Like I said, we had fun. It was a total kids fest, though.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

The previously single guy in me picked up on a potential "hot mom" scene there, in that it looked liked mom's took their kids and the dad's presumably found something else to do that day, like golf or stay home and watch football.

i live in downtown ft. laud. Good luck finding a job though, i mean it.. i've been looking for another job for the last few weeks and have had no luck (unless i want to get paid min wage) so i guess i'll stick with my $10 hr job doing third party verifications all day everyday
