Mother Nature is Taunting Me

I recently accepted a new job with my company, this is my last week in my current position. The job I took is vastly different than the job I am in now, not in terms of responsibility so much as just the overall nature of the job. Both jobs have me fixing problems, troubleshooting, talking to people, those are the major similarities. The differences are huge though. With my current position I am outside a lot, driving from place to place mostly, but not in an office. I frequently take breaks or lunches in different parks around the county enjoying the beautiful weather we have here in Florida, especially this time of year. My new position will be in an office.

This morning I was walking outside, and what an amazing morning it was. The air was crisp, not a cloud in the sky, it was about 65 degrees with a slight breeze. Really, the kind of day that makes me reconsider ever moving away from Florida. A bird starts chirping in the tree in front of me. "Kaka! Chirp Chirp!" is what it sounded like. But what it was actually saying was a little more mocking. "I hope you enjoy walls, because at this time every day you're going to be behind them! Chirp!" is what he was actually saying to me.

That little son of a bitch.

He was right though, being outdoors all day is possibly at the top of a short list of things I will miss about my current position. That just means I'll be outside more on the weekends. Doing things like, sitting, and... walking. And... watersports.
