A few months ago I applied for a job at the VA in Austin, Texas. Austin clearly has enough social workers in its neck of the woods; after sending an application that weighed about a pound, I didn’t even merit a rejection letter.
According to Austin’s website, it was 70 degrees and sunny there today. Austin puts its weather on its home page. The city I live in doesn’t dare. It doesn’t even have the courage to show a picture taken in the winter, which I don’t understand because winter can be made attractive, even though it usually isn’t.
This is what my hometown does say on the subject of weather: “Actually, our climate is perfect for all of the things that really matter.”
Take that, Austin. When your residents decide to do something that matters, they’ll have to do it here where the sun doesn’t shine.
