[Magdalen] My latest. (Sigh.)

[Marion Thompson]

Boy, oh boy, my heart goes out to you, Mike, as you watch and wait.  It all brings back memories of some episodes of my U of T employment.  I once went to the Ombudsman with a long-simmering matter.  In due course, as we left some final meeting with the powers-that-be,  me in tears as we walked, the O. said, “We won!” to which I responded, “Then why do I feel so bad?”

Prayers and other good thoughts heading your way.

Marion, a pilgrim

Nothing new, actually, other than the fact that tomorrow marks one full week since I submitted my letter requesting re-instatement to my position at the Water Resources Agency.  My next to-last former boss (who was not perfect by any means, but let the record show I actually asked him for a job recently), if he taught me anything, he taught me that "a letter received is a letter responded to".  So, so true.

Anyone curious about the strange world I fell into over 25 years ago, please see:

http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/government/government-links/water-resources-agency/home#wra

And under:

http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/government/government-links/water-resources-agency/programs/land-use-and-construction-permit-review/overview#wra

... the last paragraph under "Construction Permits", you can see a reference to former me, along with an email address that no longer exists.

And at the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (whose website counts as one of the worst a gov't entity can produce) still has this page available, though only if you know where to find it -- I obviously do:

http://www.mpwmd.net/maps/waterwest/myfile.htm

You'll find me in the "To Apply" section, under item number 2.

I'm sorry for what amounts to digital blubbering tonight.  I'm just not feeling all that hopeful of late, considering how I'm fairly sure the only one standing between me getting my job back and not, is the soul-less general manager.  (Who, believe it or don't, actually wanted a position in Trump's administration ... EARLY ON.  How well I recall the monthly campaign checks he would mail prior to that day even Tramp didn't expect in early Nov 2016.  I recently told my old friend his secretary that if I get blown off, to tell him [his initials are DC, yes, also, believe it or don't] I'll see him in hell.  I was in a good mood.  :-P  )

Please forgive.

The Union (SEIU) is still working hard, and with not one single cent from me in dues since March.  Now that's heart.
