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.
