When I know back on making the decision to move to the south, I wondered a bit at just how close I came to not doing it. Having been raised and lived all of my life way up north, the south was sort of a secret passion. I tried unquestionably taxing to go to university in the of the south. But my parents weren’t about to pay out of state tuition. So it was off to a state school and a dorm room with lots of radiant heating. Still, I longed for a Winter where I didn’t have to deal with the snow, the ice and the many months of cold. I longed for the Heating and A/C cooling of the southern regions. After university, I started laboring in my field and stayed near new home for the next numerous years. When the job listing came out for a spot in our southern offices, I put my name in on a whim. I was shocked to get an interview. And I was even more stunned that I was offered the position. They offered me a few afternoons to consider it and that’s what I did. I almost talked myself out of moving down here and taking that job. But I got over myself and realized that I had the confidence, expertise and leadership skills to do that job. That’s been nearly a dozen years ago and that job was a Springtimeboard to the zone controlled Heating and A/C of the office I occupy now. I don’t regret for a hour trading a gas gas furnace Winter for a heat pump summer time either.
