Barron tried to pass the same proposal during the Legislature’s 2009 session, but it failed in the Senate by two votes in March.

[...] and organized this year. A lot of why I am better organized and prepared this year is that my old job and I parted ways. Another reason is that this is our second year. And unlike Talent Show, I did not get [...]

Ha! Yes everyone who knows Mom was able to put the visual together with the scenario even if she swears she’d never react like that.

Thank you! If this particular person does meet with an unfortunate incident and the hiring freeze lifts, let me know! There are actually quite a lot of jobs up here in the NoVA/DC area. RIght now it’s all about finding the right one. I’ve got a few potentials I am very excited about so hopefully one of them will pan out soon!

We need to snag lunch one of these moons when I am in NC. I’d love to see your lovely family, too. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting your daughter. I love reading about her on your site though.

But! seriously. Sorry about your fallen state and good luck with the search… I don’t know of any jobs at the moment, I don’t even have a budget, but I do know a guy who, if he were to meet with an unfortunate accident and our hiring freeze were magically lifted, you might could have his job. Best I can do. It doesn’t help you much I realize.

I read this almost all the way through before I remembered that I actually knew your mom, and then I read it again with the visual. Definitely more entertaining that way.

Hey, I haven’t been attacked by a tree in YEARS… (knock on something other than wood, lest they get offended and wreck my streak)… YEARS, I say!!!

Jays, I’ll take my spore attacks over your tree attacks any day. I think my VPC is a lot less dangerous than yours…

Well I figured if I was going to use my family (I mean besides the dog and the cat – and Jack Jack too, of course) as fodder for my site, I should at least send out little IM warnings. Jason and Drue are used to it thanks to Fractalmind which should explain Jason’s twitching whenever I post new material on my site…

And for the record, you were very calm when I told you about my upcoming lack of employment and when I called you to tell you that the day before was my last day. Note that both times I called you, you were at work. See! There is a method to my madness that you now know about… crap, I knew I did something wrong…

The Look[tm] covers being “young lady”ed and I’ll just leave it at that.

Love you too Mom! Don’t count on me for moving back to NC. The dogwoods are out to get me. I just know it!
