[April Fools] Goodbye Seattle, Hello Florida

  • 아티클

After only six months in Seattle, I’ve decided to return to Florida to work as a Developer Evangelist apprentice (read: coffee monkey) under Joe Healy. Sure, it was an expensive move and everything, and moving back is really hard on my family, but Seattle has proven to be just too rainy for me.

It was fun while it lasted, I guess. I’m just excited to be heading back to Florida, a state I love more than any other state in the world.

Here are just a few of the things I missed about living in rural Florida:

  • You could get anywhere in under an hour (and usually over 45 minutes)
  • An Italian restaurant on every corner
  • A Dunkin Donuts on every corner and in every gas station
  • Old people on every corner, every gas station and in every grocery store
  • Homeownership and mowing the lawn in the summertime!

To all my Tampa peeps, I’m sure you’re glad to be getting me back.

Check back tomorrow for more information on my new role.

UPDATE: This was an April Fools joke. Most of you NOT on my team fell for it :)

    You had me going until you said you loved Florida more than any other state. I mean the "its too rainy part" I totally bought.  And then of course I remembered what day it was. This is a joke right? I mean it has to be.

    How do I get my own coffee monkey?  That could really cut some hours out of my day.

    阿彌陀佛 無相佈施 不要吃五辛(葷菜，在古代宗教指的是一些食用後會影響性情、慾望的植 物，主要有五種葷菜，合稱五葷，佛家與道家所指有異。 近代則訛稱含有動物性成分的餐飲食物為「葷菜」，事實上這在古代是稱 之為腥。所謂「葷腥」即這兩類的合稱。 葷菜 維基百科，自由的百科全書 （重定向自五辛） 佛家五葷 在佛家另稱為五辛，五種辛味之菜。根據《楞嚴經》記載，佛家五葷為大 蒜、小蒜、興渠、慈蔥、茖蔥；五葷生啖增恚，使人易怒；熟食發淫，令 人多慾。[1] 《本草備要》註解云：「慈蔥，冬蔥也；茖蔥，山蔥也；興渠，西域菜，云 即中國之荽。」 興渠另說為洋蔥。) 肉 蛋 奶?! 念楞嚴經 *∞窮盡相關 消去無關 證據 時效 念阿彌陀佛往生西方極樂世界 我想製造自己的行為反作用力 不婚 不生子女 生生世世不當老師 log 二0.3010 三0.47710.48 五0.6990 七0.8451 .85 root 二1.414 1.41 三1.732 1.73五 2.236 2.24七 2.646 =>十3.16 π∈Q' 一點八1.34
