@Brillovol

got a funny story..

After I graduated, my Dad had a high profile client who got me an interview with head of TDOT..some lady with a fancy office upstairs in the state capitol.

I wore this business suit and a dress raincoat and parked pretty far away on a cold damp rainy day. Of course, it was quite a huck walking up the hill and when I got in the chilly Capitol building, I became a weather front and started sweating and condensating profusely. It was incredible and I was drenched and it wouldnt stop..lol

Anyways, during the meeting, we talked about what positions were available and due to a hiring freeze, only thing was road work..I was thinking my degree was really paying off

Oh man, that’s rough. I’ve walked that walk many times, except to the Polk building. And it always seems like there’s a hiring freeze. Thankfully now now.

This was actually the third time I was offered a job at the state. Third times a charm I guess.

I was trying to figure out her name but apparently she wasnt the head honcho, commissioner or such, as I dont see a female chief around 1990, so I have been incorrect in my memory. She sure had a nice office though.

Could her name have been Carolyn Stonecipher?

She was one of the first (maybe THE first) female engineers of the department way back then. She would’ve been in a lead role around that time as well. I know her and her family very well. Grew up and graduated with her nephew. Good family.
