A lot of our work friends are envious because I live in Tampa; I moved here several weeks back when I was first assigned to a year-long task.
- I didn’t expect things to be perfect, but I did think it would be more fun that I am currently having.
I didn’t want to extend the time on the task, but I don’t have much choice. In the last several weeks, the task has been extended for numerous additional weeks & it looks as if I will be living in Tampa for the entire time. I don’t mind living in Tampa, FL but it is not all roses & fairy dust prefer our friends believe. My apartment is really costly & I have to take an Uber to work everyday. I didn’t want to take our automobile to the office, because that meant driving a truly long distance instead of flying, but the weather in Tampa FL is really horrible. It’s hot, muggy, & humid. I tried to go to the beach Last year on our afternoon off & the gulf water was covered with red algae. I could not go someplace near the beach after I found out this is called a red tide, then red tide is a significant problem that affects Florida beaches prefer Davis Islands in Tampa. The problem continues to worsen with every single year. I suppose it seems like it would be nice to live by the water, but when the water is filled with bacteria & viruses, I can’t surf, swim, or water ski… When this task is finished next year, I’m going to take a new task in a new state. I have spent enough time in Tampa to suppose that Florida is not the venue for when I want to put down roots or beginning a family.
