ParticipantI lived in Eastlake since 1999 and work in Sorrento Valley/UTC area. We lived in Mira Mesa prior to coming to Eastlake. I can’t say we “really love” this area but we can’t say we hate it either. There are things that I don’t like, but there are things that me and family love as well.
I didn’t grow up here in the States. I came here after college. When I was single I lived all over the country and it’s only when I got married that I settled here in San Diego. We lived in Mira Mesa for less than a year and then we moved to Eastlake. So I really can’t compare Eastlake to any other sub-urban neighborhood here in San Diego.
Commute:
I worked 2-3 days a week from home but if I have to go to the office, I try to avoid the “rush hour” period. But most of the times if I leave at 8 AM, I will be at the office at around 8:40. I’ve lived here in the South Bay long enough that I studied the traffic pattern really well and know what lane to take during traffic. Example of this is on 805 near Plaza, I take the slower lane since it seems faster. Another example is near Balboa and Clairemont. Just before Balboa, I navigate toward the slower lanes and if I see break light ahead, I take the Balboa/Clairemont exit lane, and then merge back again to the freeway. It probably saves me about 10 minutes doing this.I always take 805 going north and 5 (then 94 then 805) going south. I used to take the Toll Expressway but it’s very expensive and can’t justify the $2.25 that I have to spend for saving about 5 minutes of my commute time.

Participant[quote=DWCAP]Sure. I nearly had a heart attack that I got an 21(out of 100) on an ochem midterm, till I learned that the mean was 7, and only after he threw out all the tests that were turned in blank.[/quote]
Organic Chemistry.
That course prompted me to change my major from Chemical Engineering to Electrical. That course was my first C. But I felt better when I learned that only few of us from that class got a grade of C or better.

ParticipantOT: It’s “than” not “then”. Sorry, can’t resist.
[quote=SD Realtor]To me being a teacher working those hours 9 months a year is A HELL of alot harder then being an engineer and writing code all day.[/quote]
[quote=SD Realtor] My wifes best friends brother sells frigging hot dogs at all the state fairs, works about 5-6 months a year and makes way more then us engineers.
[/quote][quote=SD Realtor]The bottom line is, if you have kids, your teacher will spend more waking time with your kids then you will over a year for most working folks.
For me working a 60 or 70 hour week surrounded by engineers and writing code/running sims/ etc is easier then kids.[/quote]ParticipantOT: It’s “than” not “then”. Sorry, can’t resist.
