So, as some as you know, I have been appointed, on an interim basis, to a Release Review Panel, that was established by new legislation signed in June for TYC. There are 7 of us on the panel and we decide, for every TYC youth, when their time is up whether to extend it, release to parole, or discharge them completely. I am very excited and fortunate to even be considered, much less appointed.
This appointment supercedes my normal job, which I am still doing, which right now is keeping me sniffing glue because I am planning our training for our officers on 9/24-9/26, plus regular duties, plus the panel. I have been working at home, on weekends, and it pretty much never leaves my thoughts...oh yeah, plus trying to keep SVOC moving smoothly and keeping laundry and clean dishes at the house.
Anyhoo, on top of all of this now, I have a job interview for the Parole Supervisor job based in Austin, on the 20th. If I happen to get this job, it will be about an $8k payraise/year. But I am also hoping that I get the permanent appointment to the panel, making it full-time, with a $13k payraise/year.
So, since I am pretty much freaking out and working myself to death right now, I was hoping that maybe ya'll could help me out and keep me in your evil thoughts the next couple of weeks. I am pretty sure I can make it through them, but having a little moral support would be great!
Thank you oh evil ones!
