I think Park(ing) day also shows the benefits of working DT. I am so friggin pissed off that I'm missing out on all the lounging and random fun that appears to be happening (via Facebook pics). I mean really, how often are there random fun things that occur in suburban office parks? You have to drive places to get food. You have to drive places to get a post work drink. There are never festivals. There are never events. Traffic is equally crappy. There is no St. Johns River. And so on.

I've worked at a suburban office park near Tinseltown, and now near St. Augustine, but have also worked in DT Jax and near DT Jax. You simply can't match the workday experience DT. On days like today, even hanging out at Parking Day for an hour would make it feel like it wasn't a workday.

Here are a few shots from earlier today:
