That blows. Hope you're able to work your way around that commute. 

Though "retirement" has a nice ring to it. Didn't you buy some new golf clubs last year?

I'm borderline trying to push to get back into the original office, or just blowing it off altogether and see how things pan out.  At worst, I'd think I could handle it financially (out here) if I just pick up a part-time gig at Lowe's or something.  I've also been applying for remote-only opportunities.  I definitely don't need the salary I'm making at WF.  I'm trying to get back to FL, but we still have some in-progress renovations going on so there's no way we can put the house on the market.  I could flat-out retire if I get back to FL.  The property taxes out here are just horrendous.  I could save myself almost $500 a month on property taxes alone if I get back there.

And don't get me wrong, I actually like it out here.  And Mrs. Rico has gotten to where she's less set on getting back to FL than I am.  So we'll just have to see what happens when I meet with my manager.  He was supposed to be back Monday but he changed his time off.  I can see on Skype that he's in the office today.  It's just a matter of when he can make some time for me after being out for six work days.
