I hear ya Dusty. Maybe I because I grew up in rural VA, I am used to the people being alot less rude. Now, I am not saying they all are, but I work in the public and good god are some of them just nasty, no matter what. Getting back to the topic, we moved up here so that my wife could finish her masters degree and since CT has, luckily, one of the better programs for education degrees and is reciprecated in a majority of the states it was the best choice. As soon as I get get a transfer, I am hopefully off to North Carolina. Would love to move back to VA, but the wife will not have it.
