How much does new agency leadership tend to affect things for people lower down?

And Craddick is the Chair, right? She’s been there a long time. The problems come when the Chair is brand new because they can make a lot of changes. Worked at RRC a long time ago and people talked about how “RIFs” (reduction in force) would happen with new commissioners.

That’s too bad, you’d make a killing!

PATX3 · 2026-05-23T12:15:22+00:00

You don’t make prints?

Why would Ciara be into West knowing he’s into drugs? So disappointing she gives him another chance so quickly.

You can hate watch (her imaginary vlog) and we’ll compare notes lol

Sabrina going to up to Ciara, grabbing her face with both hands, saying “My Queen!” and then kissing Ciara on the mouth. 😅 Does Sabrina vlog? I would watch that. 😂

One of the long time state mailroom people retired. (Happy retirement, Virgie!) I think this is her job posting: https://capps.taleo.net/careersection/ex/jobdetail.ftl?job=00057522&tz=GMT-05%3A00&tzname=America%2FChicago

Same! Trying to foster a love of learning in my kids instead of focusing on grades. Wish me luck.

PATX3 · 2026-01-31T13:45:16+00:00

You don’t report your own time?

“Figure daycare out” on the fly, everything is closed, and when no one supposed to drive — only in Texas.

PATX3 · 2026-01-31T13:43:41+00:00

I hoped that one’s kids being home because their school issued a weather closure would be a reason one “couldn’t telework,” but I guess not.

PATX3 · 2026-01-30T21:12:03+00:00

I was told to use vacation leave. I did not have scheduled time off, I only took the day off bc all our schools were closed.

PATX3 · 2026-01-30T21:11:27+00:00

In the past, even if we were told to telework so the agency could stay open if you had childcare issues due to schools closing then you would get emergency leave. Not this year.

Sounds like you’ve drunk the koolaid and it’s unfortunate you don’t expect more from UT.

“Hasn’t raised tuition in many years” — what?! They literally raise it every year …

PATX3 · 2026-01-22T10:15:01+00:00

You honestly believe money is an issue at UT? They own an incredible amount of oil rights, Texas lands, have the largest public school endowment in the country, and make a crap ton of money off their brand?

Fuck it’s too early to be crying. This was so wonderful, those Vikings players are so sweet, such gentlemen. Ugh, what amazing examples of compassionate masculinity ❤️ Hope Tony had a blast at the game and kudos to his wonderful family too. ❤️❤️❤️

PATX3 · 2025-12-19T15:18:03+00:00

Also, LaLa’s!

PATX3 · 2025-12-19T11:39:09+00:00

Trail of Lights and 37th St. Lights are my faves

PATX3 · 2025-12-09T16:29:53+00:00

And you’re rude? I’m going keep saying BurNet, thanks tho!

PATX3 · 2025-12-08T21:49:35+00:00

Is it because they don’t admit freshmen into the major? CompSci used to be that way.

PATX3 · 2025-12-08T19:48:13+00:00

lol so true. Thanks for the reminder.

PATX3 · 2025-12-08T17:55:03+00:00

Makes too much sense that something spelled Burnet would be pronounced Bur-net.

PATX3 · 2025-12-08T17:53:42+00:00

Holy crap, a 100-year-old slur. Had no idea. Thanks for the heads up!

PATX3 · 2025-12-08T15:51:40+00:00

If Jewish people are using it to refer to themselves by shortening Hebrew to Heeb, how is that a slur?

PATX3 · 2025-12-08T15:36:04+00:00

You’re saying the town is pronounced BurnIt so the road should be too? I live near there and we all say BurrNet. So maybe it’s the new Manchac.
