As many of you know, I live in Ohio but I work for a company in Gainesville, Georgia. I got the job when I lived in Georgia before we moved to Columbus, and when they found out I was moving, they really wanted to keep me. So the wonderful company and my fantastic managers let me work from home every day. However, I do have to make the trip to Gainesville every couple months to work in the office for a week. This is just to help me maintain a relationship with my coworkers and to attend important meetings and Christmas parties. It’s a pain to have to travel and be reimbursed, and I hate being away from Pearson and Pip for that long, but I get to see family and old friends. Oh, and I get to work in my pajamas the rest of the time so I can’t really complain. Anyway, I was in Georgia last week and I noticed (not for the first time) that my days look a lot different when I’m in Georgia. So I thought I’d share with you a few of those differences.
