If you remember, one of my biggest gripes about the Embarq job was the fact it was about 6 or 7 miles away and a heavily jammed set of roadways to get back and forth from home to work each day. Ugh! Hated it!Now, if you look at the satellite image above, you can see how close my new job is to the old Symantec one. And, that was, as you may recall, within walking distance from Ric's house, and is only a ten minute drive from my current home.
I placed an orange arrow pointing to my office at the old job and a blue arrow at my new one. Now from both the training room and where I'll be sitting upstairs once I start actually working, I literally can see the window I used to sit at and gaze for hours out of; the window I filmed in this video.
Remember too there's still the weird coincidence that Ric's workplace is in a similar office building just to the east of the Symantec site across I-4, the highway you can see to the right of that building in the picture.
It's great to once again live, work and play all in the same town. Once more, I remain sequestered in my sheltered Desperate Housewifes/Wisteria Lane-ish Lake Mary, hardly ever venturing out of the city.
Ahhh...so much better than having to deal with traffic and congestion, like, if I worked in Orlando! Gasp!
Sung to the tune of "Green Acres":
Lake-Mary is the place to be.
Sub-urban is the life for me.
Lawn-mowers buzzin' far and wide,
Keep Orlando, just gimmie that small town pride.
