Isn't that like right down the street? I've been to Nashville a few times this year and always drove right by you just before getting there.

That's in Tennessee. I believe @BMarie and @g.jacobse are in Kentucky. Close still but yea.

cycling up the morning routine - including news from NPR.
The sun is actually out this morning!! About to whip out an email (maybe) and check on some issues from yesterday.
Trying to figure out the day,... and what needs to be addressed.

We are less than 4 hours away and never been. I know it's sad
I always go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. -

Yes, and you drive right by as you head to Nashville which sits RIGHT on the Kentucky border.

I always go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.Don't feel bad. Do you have any idea how many people in Upstate NY will go decades before they go to NYC for the first time? People travel from all over the world to see NYC but probably half the people in Upstate NY will go to NYC less than a handful of times in their entire life, and many never go.

Bit more overhead to go from Buffalo to NYC, though. It's more than four hours and there is an extreme amount of cost and stress dealing with parking, hotels, public transportation, ferries, etc. NYC takes quite a lot of work to do if you haven't done it before and know the ins and outs. Even knowing where you can park so that you can take public transportation is a big deal. And cities like Nashville don't have a $10 fee for entering the city.

Yes, but I'm just saying I know where she's coming from. So many people assume that people who live close to something must have been there. It's not always the case.

I took someone local to me to Niagara Falls a year ago. We live about an hour from there!

Looking to rent there or are these properties that you own and rent to others?
Looking to rent there for a year. Will likely buy after that.
Just had the long conversation with the owner about living 4.5 hours from most of our clients and how it is not an issue.
He understands logically. Heck he works from home 4.5 days a week (more than I do generally). But the emotional side is a struggle.

Working from home has been a bit of a challenge. It's different than the few hours to a full day I've done in the past. I've gone from driving about 200 miles a week to next to none. I would take walks to the other building, since that was where my supervisor, mailbox, servers were. Now I just try to walk the stairs several times a day.
I am sure that once I build my tool box that I'll have a bit more time to move around a bit. But for now - I just don't feel right taking a run out of the 'office'.

Working from home is awesome! But you need to remember to leave the house and walk away from work. Just because you work from home doesn't mean it should be your life. Family should always be number one in your life. Work can wait most of the time, really it can. We are in IT and tend to think just because there is more work to do at the end of the day that we should just keep going, unless there is an outage of course then you should.

It is nothing to to me. I've been doing it for years. it is the physical distance that I am going to introduce that is the point of concern.
