    I have a (probably) rhetorical question--why on earth do agencies post job listings when they are in a hiring freeze? Just seems mean to me. But maybe there is a reason.

    I've often wondered this.  I think its because they want to do a promotion for someone already working for them but they still have to post it.  Its just a formality.

    Where ya lookin? 

    I'm still looking for a permanent position with the AG. They don't have any relevant posts lately, but still a ton for other areas.  I've also been looking with DFPS. I interviewed for what could be the last spot before the freeze kicks in til September last week! Keeping my fingers crossed!!


     

    What position if you don't mind me asking?  I work for DFPS.  :-)

  • Ok.  I hope someone's still reading because this is one that I really have been embarassed to ask, esp online.  For those of you who blog, why do you do it?  Is it just something that you like to do to share something you love?  I've seen some that I like to peek at occassionally but not really read daily, ya know?  Just wondering...

    I thought the buttons were on the other side of the men's shirt because when they were invented only wealthy people could afford them.  Ladies that were wealthy had maids to help them get dressed, so the buttons were applied to the other side so that they faced the maid.  Men dressed themselves.

    PSA= Public Service Announcement 

     

    this is my understanding also

    I like to think its to make things easier when undressing your partner, but your explanation seems more plausible.

    My mom is a director at a state agency and from what I understand the jobs are posted so the department doesn't lose the funding for that position. Even if there is a hiring freeze, the department doesn't want to give the legislature and reason to not fund the position in the next funding cycle, so the job gets posted.

    It's sort of a holding place for "use it or lose it."

     

    Ok, this makes sense. Thanks!

    MnMShaw--it's an atty position representing the agency in administrative hearings.

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

    I have a blog just to keep a record of my thoughts, when I think of them.  I rarely update it, but I think it will be fun awhile down the road to look back and see what I thought was interested in at the time.  Some people keep them to entertain the masses, others keep them to update family/ friends on their lives.

  • I have a blog because I don't scrapbook and I want my kids to have something special when they are older.  I don't scrapbook because I have three unfinished scrapbooks just sitting there waiting.  Obviously, I should have learned after I didn't complete the first one that I wasn't that into it, or am only into it for a short period of time every 5 years or so.  I'm not an interestingblog writer, so it's mostly just for family.  I do have my top 5 that I check almost daily for entertainment.  :)

    I love Chiklit's explanation!

     

  • Here is my dumb question:

    When an ambulance is coming up behind you, are you supposed to pull toward the right lane and stop or just slow down? I know you are supposed to move to the right, but I see people both stop and slow down and I can't remember what the rule is.
