employer that I will be transferred to Boston, MA, from Lake Charles,
Louisiana. From a fishing standpoint, I view this as a disaster. Here, I
have year-round access to Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tripletail, Flounder,
Croakers, Spanish Mackerel and Sheepshead, and within a short drive, Tuna,
Pompano, Dolphin, Tarpon, numerous Snapper species (in season), King
Mackerel, Wahoo, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Grouper, Lemonfish and even various
billfish, all without much trouble (i.e., inshore or within a short run from
shore). All I really hear about in the Boston area is bluefish (generally
considered a trash/bait fish here) and stripers and then only when they are
"running." Somebody brighten my day, please."

I know how you feel being from Louisiana also (between New Orleans and Baton
Rouge). The company I work for was going through reorganization. They were
shutting down units and selling off plants. They notified all hourly
employees in affected plants the opportunity to transfer to another location
that was not being shutdown or work force reduced. I worked in one of the
plants that was on the chopping block. I looked at all my options and even
flew out of state for interviews with other locations that I may want to
transfer to. I even interviewed with other employers out of state. I
decided it was not worth leaving the Bayou state where a man can go duck and
goose hunting in the morning, then take a trip offshore and catch some fish
and return in time to catch a limit of specks and reds before retiring for
the night. There is nothing like a triple delight to wear a man down.

Stay home and find another job. By the way, Miller is a popular name in
that area of the state, are you related to a Charles and Danette Miller from
Jennings?
