Sad job news

Don't worry, don't worry. I didn't lose my job. However, the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation sold the house we currently work in three blocks from my house. They felt that we could benefit from a more traditional work place and a place that isn't downtown (and therefore so expensive). They close on September 15th. At that point we may lease the house for a limited amount of time. However, it is most likely inevitable that we will be moving somewhere NOT downtown. This means ... gasp ... I will have to drive or take the bus to RLSF. I am NOT thrilled about this. I mean, I don't work there that often (about 8 hours a week in office and 8 hours a week out of office), but right now it is so convenient.

For example, today I worked at Mayo from 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and then stopped at home, grabbed my lunch, and continued walking down the street to RLSF. It is so ideal. It's a fifteen minute walk from my job at Mayo and merely a ten minute walk or less from my house.

We currently fill up our car about every six weeks. Sort of important when gas is nearing $3.00 a gallon. Neither of us drive very often at all. JB will sometimes drive the mile to St. Mary's simply to save himself some time for those early mornings, but we basically walk everywhere.

For the first time in over two years, I may have to COMMUTE! My Floridian compadres are laughing hysterically at this. My commute may be all of ten minutes with predictable traffic -- how horrid!

According to the folks we pay to know these things, the fastest one of these ever was clocked was 80 mph!
