1. Weather (no)
2. Scenery (no)
3. Employment (yes)
4. Friends (yes)
5. Family (yes)
Given that employment can change at a moment's notice, I'm here apparently for my friends and family. While I love all of you, -25 windchill and -12 degrees outside isn't exactly endearing me to this place today.
I've lived here nearly 15 years. I moved here post-Cottey, to finish up my bachelor's degree at Butler. After Butler, the economy was souring, so I headed to grad school at IUPUI. During grad school I got a job with the State and the rest, as they say, is history.
It is days like today, where I am wearing 3 layers at minimum, that I wonder what it is that keeps me here.
Apparently it is insanity.

The scenery isn't bad... I love downtown... I'll be moving downtown on Wednesday...
But yeah... the weather in Indiana SUCKS.
Just found your blog, very sarcastic, which is very refreshing, have fun in DC. Take the subway out to Crystal City, nice place to stay. Close enough but also far enough away. Have fun
I would have to agree about the weather judgement. I am not really liking living in long johns, thermal socks and wearing layers...plus my employment requires me to spray water outside...and yet I say to this day that it is the best damn job in the world...period!
Liam: I am jealous of your move. Flatly jealous.
sharpE: welcome to the blog, trust that I am just as sarcastic in real life. We are staying in Vienna, VA.
Jay: Love your optimism, friend. You do have a great job.
well let me rephrase... my OFFICE is moving downtown...
I'm still stuck on the northside...
BTW...
Word verification today... "cultiest"
Athena's blog is the cultiest blog I know!
