I am going to go Job hunting tomorrow. There's a job my BIL told me about, he works for the Railroad commission, and no one has applied for it all in the whole week it's been out there. I am going to deliver this application instead of mailing it. It's for a clerk/sec position.
I have been steaming my sinuses and they have been draining. Of course Norman has left the building...I am sure tho that is is temporary and Norman will come back home. Another cross your fingers thing. I really would like this job but I know not to get my hope up over any job. But fingers crossed may help. I will also put it in my prayers tonight. ANyway...I have several places to put an application in. Sooooo,I will let youall know what happens. Love Oma
I hope you land that job. I assume that's a state job, isn't it?
Norman will probably be back home after the antibiotics are gone.
Good luck tomorrow.
Love,
Wayne
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Good luck Oma. I'll also keep my fingers crossed for you!
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha
RR Commission is pretty powerful in Texas, ya know. They do more than just RR bidness! Ha! Isn't that where the " One Tough Gramma" got started? Guess Wayne, Oma, and I are the only ones who know who that is, right?
Anyway, I hope they're smart enough to hire a smart lady like yourself.
"One Tough Grandma", is what Carole Keeton Strayhorn calls herself. She's currently the State Comptroller, and is campaigning for the Governor's office.
She was the first woman elected to the Railroad Commission of Texas. Her last name was Rylander, at the time. The RR Commission regulates not only railroads, but interstate, and intrastate commerce in general, including all trucking. It is also in charge of things like regulation of oil and gas production in Texas. Prior to Ms Rylander's election, the RR Commission was sort of a "good ol' boys club", so to speak. A very powerful, "good-ol'boys" club.
Love,
Wayne

Yep! Wayne BE right!!!! Yes Wayne that would be a State Job. I talked to the guy doing the interviewing...he said it will be 2 weeks before they start to interview. But that's ok.....If I am suppose to have it I will. I have an interview on Monday for the other one I am looking at. Love Oma
Didn't know you were lerking around these parts lately or I would've included you.
Yep Grannie's going to run as an independent this time -- another wrestler of sorts! Ha!
Thanks for that bit of current events. That is really interesting. I've always wanted to visit your home state, particularly since I have a couple of cousins who have lived there quite a while. At least one of em is an engineer, and maybe both of them. There were four brothers, and several graduated from Perdue. Do they have a pretty good engineering dept there? I would think so.
One of those four brothers lived in Michigan, and I think he's the one who was the second one to move to Vt. Another lives in NY, and the last one, just outside of Indianapolis.
Also, I need to get to New England to see where my ancestors lived, and that would be really close to those places. It will be a long, long time before I get there, I'm sure, so hope I live long enough. Today, I was beginning to wonder if I'd make it through today. Ha!
