Jun. 26th, 2013 02:11 amSorry for all the politics, guys. A few of you may not know this, but I was fairly activisty before I moved to Seattle. Once I got there, there wasn't anything for me to protest about, so I got quiet.
I do try to keep politics and religion off my blogs (I'm not going to convince people who are opposed to my beliefs, and those that follow my beliefs don't need the pursuading). But Texas politics is dirty politics. I try to call that out.

Texas has always been in a wierd political situation, where it's VERY hard for the citizen to do anything politically outside of their own legislator, especially if they've been redistrcted out of representation. SB5 was a great example of most of the legislators NOT LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC.
The public won becuase some of the legislators listened and worked with the public to make it happen. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH ALL YOUR LEGISLATORS. They need to hear you, not the party line.
Remember this next time you vote, Texans. Vote the one who will listen to you, not the party liners.
And now...goodnight.

Jun. 26th, 2013 03:32 amQuote of the night. And a VERY important question to the Texas Legislature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWAOI6x8qus #sb5 #standwithwendy
Conondrum. I will most likely have a job next week. Big company, pay not good. I also am up for a job in a smaller company, pay better, but less chance of getting hired. How do I hold onto both chances, so I can stay in the running for the better paying job LATER? Suggestions? Advice?

Jun. 26th, 2013 04:29 pmWell. It's for SUBSTANTIALLY less that I wanted (I haven't been paid that rate since 2000), but I have a job. I start work 7/8.

I have property near Kerrville. It's not Austin, but it's got good internet, and the cost of living is VERY low.
