I hear ya Dusty. Maybe I because I grew up in rural VA, I am used to the people being alot less rude. Now, I am not saying they all are, but I work in the public and good god are some of them just nasty, no matter what. Getting back to the topic, we moved up here so that my wife could finish her masters degree and since CT has, luckily, one of the better programs for education degrees and is reciprecated in a majority of the states it was the best choice. As soon as I get get a transfer, I am hopefully off to North Carolina. Would love to move back to VA, but the wife will not have it.

Reno, yes I wanted two answers..but I dont want you bringing my opinion on the housey thing into this. Why I want 2 answers is because where I live will be highly correlated to the environmental programs because it is my job. I dont ant to work in a state where my work will not be appreciated and everything I say will be ignored and discredited

"If you can't "read between the lines" and really see what's happening here than that is a shame!" and "If you think we are just going to stand around and let them ruin our waterways THINK AGAIN"

Cant help but think these are directed at me...

Your opinion?? What are you talking about?? You deleted your posts before I got a chance to read them so I don't know what your opinion was! Why did you delete them? Judging by the way others quoted your posts I have an idea of what you said! You can stick up for whatever you believe in and that's great but understand this is total political corruption at it's finest and it casts a huge black cloud over the whole Dept, which is generally filled with great and educated people. I'm sure your work will be appreciated and not ignored or discredited where ever you go, as long as you keep it real "so to speak." This incident as Caswell is like comparing bad policeman to good policeman! That bad ones give the whole Dept. a bad name even though 99% of them are honest!

Anyway

I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you! I wish you all the best in your endeavors and I really hope wherever you end up your work is appreciated!


For all the policeman on the site, sorry for the analogy!

There is a reason the only face of the DEP we see on this board is that of the CO's, whom we like and trust. The other side of DEP is shadowy, and doesn't much keep itself clean in public.

Unfortunately, the CO's don't write the rules or make the decisions. The politicians do.

I don’t know where the disrespect for the DEP is here??? I see more support than anything actually. There might be a couple of knuckleheads but not even enough to notice, unless you’re really looking for them. It may be possible that you’re more susceptible to these people and innuendos (reading between the lines) as this will be your field. That makes perfect sense to me. I probably would feel the same way.

From a distance however, I see the majority understanding a very tough field along with a level of appreciation for what they do. I guess I can only speak for myself in the end but that’s my take.

As far as CT goes it’s pretty simple, most people (not everyone) stay connected with their roots. Family history is powerful and keeps most living in the region that they were born. Interesting questioning considering your moving or thinking about moving. I can’t imagine that politics in CT vary much than any other state and for those who complain I turn a deaf ear. You will find them if you move to Antarctica. I personally like CT w/ the exception of ICE and COLD. You learn to deal w/ it.

As far as quick-tempered and or easily incensed people go I may have thought that about you at one point early on but didn’t actually know you and have little invested in first impressions ;\) .

Most are caught up in their own $hit. Sometimes you think you see and a$$hole but really all it is someone that is in too much of a hurry to see anything. Sometimes they are simply a$$holes. There everywhere, not just here. It’s what you know and what you get used too.

I do have concerns about CT in particular overpopulation / overcrowding. Now that these two casinos are competing daily for whose got a bigger !@#k it is crazy. Some small towns are deteriorating and traffic and transportation is crazy. Higher costs and inflation will eventually unfold in increased crime.

Casinos pay is not great (entry level). Now that many of the people that were brought in from overseas and many locals are getting the axe as electronic engineering is taking over their jobs. Add in taxes and discrimination and you have the main equation for what was mass immigration.


Besides a very big family all of my work contracts lie w/ the state of CT. Maybe when my kids grow up I’ll bail. Who knows but overall I think CT has a lot of great history and is a nice place to raise a family. If you want to discuss taxes with me you better bring a bottle of tequila \:D . Peace bro

no pissing contest...i just didnt want to clutter up this thread and i thought that was where you were taking it. I am still reeling from that thread and it seems its just coincidence that your comments on here are similar to those directed at me on the other thread.

No worries....I appologize for interpreting that way.

Joe,
"As far as quick-tempered and or easily incensed people go I may have thought that about you at one point early on but didn’t actually know you and have little invested in first impressions ."

hehe...I'll tell most everyone I know. I am very opinionated and stand STRONGY behind how I feel..that makes people either behind me or against me, no in-between. I may come off as an a$$hole many times, ill be the first to admit that..I think it's the whole Napoleon complex \:\)


And "Sometimes you think you see and a$$hole but really all it is someone that is in too much of a hurry to see anything. Sometimes they are simply a$$holes." is completely right!!!!!!!

In that case, what are you still doing here? lol :p Good luck down there if you do end up moving!
