Today I am thinking about my job and the future of it. I work in County government, my immediate boss is an elected official. She is half way through this 4 year elected term and she will be 76 years old this November. She says she doesn't intend to run for office again.

So, in about 2 1/2 years I will be running for her position if she retires. If someone runs against me and gets it, there is no guarantee they will keep me on as their Deputy.

I just hope that in the 18 years in which I have held my present Deputy position I have been helpful enough and kind enough that people will remember me when it comes time to vote.

Hey, Anna....
Running for office is a daunting prospect. It's kind of like laying yourself out there and asking people, "do you like me"? Very vulnerable position...I wholeheartedly believe that everyone will be sensitive and thankful for the time you have put in and that you won't have any trouble making it in. God is control over everything, even small-town politics! It will all be good...you'll have to get your artistic niece to come up with some cool ads for the paper! Miss you...talk/type to you soon.
