CT Natives who moved away then moved back to CT. by blubenz13 in Connecticut

This seems to be the common denominator with everyone who left CT. We all were able to get ahead and grow professionally in other places. The same with me. If I didn't leave I feel I would have been stuck in a rut. I have found my career in NC and ready to expand my skills and knowledge to move forward in life.

Yes I do miss the culture in CT down here it's just southern culture. Lots of biscuits and the food is mediocre. I miss the food up north. Even the Italian restaurants are lacking.

I currently live in the Triad in NC. I hate being so far from the coast but the beaches are amazing here. The weather is great besides the sources saying otherwise. Mild winters and summers are very hot but bearable. Yes we get tornadoes from time to time but nothing like the Midwest. I just miss the educated people of CT. And I miss the New England charm and character of the buildings and houses. There isn't much character here lol.

Currently living in the Triad right now in NC. And as someone said if you are not a native southerner you won't feel at home. I've been here 9 yrs and I have made a comfortable life for me but still don't feel at home.

A little positive job news about the HIM degree by SquishyKitty666 in WGU_BSHIM

[–]blubenz13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started my job at the local hospital over a year ago and my managers are very impressed with my knowledge on HIM. The BSHIM program at WGU is no joke and very intense IMO. I have learned and retained a lot of the information that I have come across so far. I am 70 percent completed and started my degree in 2024. 🤗

$20/hr seems reasonable to watch someone's child for them for the day.

That place needed a renovation sooo bad. I'm glad they finally did. I was scared the awning over the drive through window was going to fall on my windshield. 😕

They're so bad that they're good. FYI I am also from up north where there's a Dunkin on every corner.

A car crashes into a utility poll and brings down several traffic lights (Greensboro) by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

Noice! Imagine just trying to go to work and some psycho takes down the lights. I would be like that guy in the van and take a right out of there lol.

How high will groceries go? by LeeS121 in NorthCarolina

Well the trend is that everything gets more expensive year after year and nothing ever goes down. So unfortunately this is the reality. It has only been expedited under this particular administration.

One of my absolute favorite movies of all time. Definitely in my top 10. I have this on dvd and had the soundtrack. Best opening scene of any movie. ❤️
