Long Held Grudge

In June of 1996 the Texas Employment Commission transformed into the Texas Workforce Commission. That happened upder the governorship of George W. Bush. Eleven years have passed since then, but resentments and grudges still hold fast. TWC recently remodeled all the doors and hallways in the building. I took the photo you see today. If you slide the nameplate to the left a little, you'll see a little sticker behind it. Let's have a little closer look. Click on the photo below. Well, how about that? Now, this grudge has to have remained alive, because we just got new doors and nameplates for them. Oh yeah.

All Dressed Up with Nothing to Do

Well, almost! We arrived at the office just a few minutes before noon. I guess that about 1/4 of us showed up today. No problem with getting a parking space today! So, we came to work, but there's nothing to do. (There probably is something to do, but who wants to?) It's surf the internet and blog from home, or surf the internet and blog from the office. Fine by me!

It's Back to Work

My agency has decided to open today at 12:00. We'll be leaving Round Rock in a few minutes to make an attempt to get there. No real reason to be optimistic, because the temp hasn't gotten above freezing in several days. On the one hand, I'm glad to be getting out of the house. On the other, almost everyone else (Attorney General's office, City of Austin, Travis County) has closed for the day, and I wonder if we'll even be able to get there.
