If I could move my job to the Northeast, I would.
I was watching some news show this morning, and during it, the newscasters and the weatherman were gloating about the weather. Who the fuck gloats about the weather? It's not like it's some special secret benefit Southern California has that no one else knows about - you live here because you don't like cold, Northeasterners live in the Northeast because they like seasons, trees, not being constantly choked by urban sprawl, and not having to worry about being swallowed up by a hole in the ground. It's like gloating about having a red car with a bunch of other red car owners.
