Her door is always open and she has a constant supply of chocolate and mints outside of work. Julia is an avid reader, true crime podcast fan and dog mom to the most spoiled Pupper out there. Welcome. She's also always standing. Yes, she has. There's literally a little meme on my desk that says Standing desk is exercise. It's great.

So it's white trashed themed, its going to be fantastic. I'm super excited. What kind of dog is it? She's a pity. I can show you off. We don't care. They don't have to see. We'll see. Yes. I need you to post more, though, because the last picture on there is like her in the shower cap on bath day. On bath day? She did not bath day.

00;01;40;16 - 00;02;02;17
Unknown
Look, she's not a fan of bath days. I mean, give my dog a bath more often. I try to do it once a month and it doesn't always happen. Okay. I feel better about life. I usually take her and I'm like, Here, you're clean her. Yeah. She comes back with bandanas. I don't understand it. It's adorable. Yeah, it's really not. Okay. So, anyways, any who

00;02;02;17 - 00;02;21;21
Unknown
Your position at the Bush school? Administrative coordinator, two. Mm hmm. You should just start making up titles. You know you're allowed to do that, right? It's only on the back end and work day that you actually have to have the the real title. But you could call yourself, princess of whatever if you wanted to. Yeah. Like Kelly, you little like name tag for my office.

00;02;21;23 - 00;02;41;17
Unknown
You can do it on your business cards, too. That sounds like a plan, because I am technically a sheriff, according to my boss. So Peg.and I are both sheriffs. We run the we run the Bush school. It was a higher position than sheriff. I don't think there is one at the county. What about Texas Ranger. Game Warden would be top of the food chain.

00;02;41;17 - 00;03;06;22
Unknown
There you go. Really? Yes. did not know that one. Yeah. Game wardens don't have to have warrants to enter your property. I knew that for any reason. Yeah, it's kind of a free for all for them trying to cam to go that route. anyways. Okay. So your position, at the Bush School is Sheriff. Yes, yes. Game Warden and A Deputy Constable, all of them. They've all the titles.

00;03;06;22 - 00;03;30;02
Unknown
And you basically do everything? Yes. Administrative roles are kind of a catchall for everything, as I'm sure you all are familiar with. But work a lot with faculty. A lot with students. Other random things. Like I get to do a lot of of event planning, which is exciting. Not originally part of my job description, but I've actually come to enjoy it a lot.

00;03;30;02 - 00;03;53;11
Unknown
So that's really cool when you get information. Yeah, when I get information. I hate to say it falls into that 2%. Yeah. Or the other duties as assigned 2% other duties as assigned TJ likes to claim that hers is like 80% of that, then it's not but I really wouldn't have it any other way. Also reminder of what her job description says.

00;03;53;11 - 00;04;18;10
Unknown
Every once in a while. Well, it makes. It makes it fun. Yeah. So from that, there's no two days that are the same. Mm hmm. They do everything. Yeah. Okay. Good to meet really cool people because of that. So maybe you should go into event planning. Maybe the venue sounds like a snarl a little bit. Well, she started thinking about all the people she's been dealing with, so all that Postivie it just came out like Wait a minute out of here

00;04;18;10 - 00;04;34;25
Unknown
And so you've worked here since 2016. Yes. So I started off as a student worker in the department and then COVID hit and my boss retired and they're like, hey, do you want a job? And I was like, Yes, yes, I do. And so I've been in this position since then. So did you go to the bush school?

00;04;35;09 - 00;04;54;01
Unknown
No, I just went to A&M. So I was an undergrad when I was the student worker. A lot of people think that I went to the bush school. I did not. That was not for me. Who do you work under as a soon worker? The International Affairs Department. So I worked with Janine and Dr. Gause. Okay. So, yeah, Janine left Peg moved up.

00;04;54;16 - 00;05;16;08
Unknown
Yeah, I've just been on the job shuffle. Well, I wasn't chosen. Then Connie left, and then I took the position, but still works here. Oh, that's right. She didn't hear her mother. She retired, was her life. And I'm really jealous. I don't. I don't know how you all remember people's names. I've been here long enough. And when you're here long enough, your name just gets tossed around a lot.

00;05;17;08 - 00;05;40;14
Unknown
Do I even recognize any of the faculty members, too? Like, really, they've been here this long. That's what I think. Because I mention their name. I'm like, Oh, I thought it was just like last year. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus. Nope. What? COVID took out my Brain Cells. Added seven years to everybody's life. Removed, added and removed some. So it kind of answers the next question of what was your draw to the school?

00;05;40;14 - 00;06;00;08
Unknown
It was just you were a student worker. Yeah. So, I mean, an open job. Jump in there. It's a great place to work. COVID definitely pushed me in a certain direction, but I enjoy it. What was your degree in sociology and Women and Gender Studies? So absolutely nothing to do it with. Admin coordinating, but it's fine. The degree was really exciting.

00;06;00;08 - 00;06;24;25
Unknown
You get to learn about everything, study society and how people work. Im also a very huge feminist. So that fits with the woman in gender studies. And then it can you can apply that degree to pretty much anything that you do. So it helps with understanding people. Yeah. So I mean, I feel like that's almost a perfect background for your job because you have to deal with people.

00;06;24;25 - 00;06;45;24
Unknown
awe can you tell my parents that? We'll just clip this part out for you. I mean, I feel like your mom and grandma got it. I just got to meet them briefly, but awe grandma. Grandma is exciting her so funny. Her friend sent me an email literally next morning which is like, Thank you so much for organizing this.

00;06;45;24 - 00;07;09;08
Unknown
And I was like, I just told you to come. That was all. She's like, I got a delicious lunch. I got to go see the museum. Oh, sweet. Love. Those kind of people. Surprised it was a handwritten note. Yes. With that generation that that's what I mean. My grandma emails and Facebooks. And your grandma is different. She's yeah.

00;07;09;08 - 00;07;37;12
Unknown
My grandma will do email, thats about it. She definitely prefers the paper stuff. So that's fair. Mm hmm. So what's your favorite part about your position? Don't say the students. If I hear one more person say the students, they can't meet the students. Give me some decorating. You're obviously pokemon and mushrooms like something. It's the variety. Oh, a variety of the students.

00;07;37;12 - 00;07;56;00
Unknown
I mean, the students is my go to answer because they do make life a lot more exciting and it reminds you of why you're doing it. But I do enjoy the variety of the job and how no two days are the same and I get my own space and students always laugh at all my little squishmallows and stuffed animals and my decorations.

00;07;56;22 - 00;08;18;00
Unknown
So I've got a lot. I mean, I'm there eight, 9 hours out of the day. I make sure I can make it comfy on the giant pillows squishmallows or frog squishmallows that I can take a nap on if I need to soothe massive ones from H-E-B Costco. Yes, I should even. I know. I know. Does he still work there?

00;08;18;00 - 00;08;42;13
Unknown
Yeah. So that's good. He got me two. So I have one at home. That's a axolotl. And then I have the frog here. Oh my God. My kid loves Axolotl. There's so fun. did you know you can Make them in Minecraft so you can hatch them now. Okay. I'm going to have to redownload minecraft They're not Microsoft Minecraft work burn. Yeah. It's like the only thing I like doing in a game like spawn.

00;08;42;13 - 00;09;05;25
Unknown
Just a bunch of them and they take over everything. Yeah, I really just want an axolotl on the predator you've seen. Now they're highly endangered. I would be hoping an endangered species. No, no, I had. Okay, we're going to tangent because I had to do a ton of research on these things for my kid because he was asking me all of these questions about it.

00;09;05;25 - 00;09;33;01
Unknown
I'm like, they're literally found in like one tiny area in Mexico that is highly endangered at the moment. Isn't there like a nunnery that works with them? And I think there is some sort of farming or something, but it really helps them survive and keeps their habitat and stuff. I've never seen about that. Well, last I looked there was only like 60 naturally found in the wild right now.

00;09;33;23 - 00;09;57;20
Unknown
Yeah. So they're like red tagged, but they've been pretty domesticated. Yeah. I mean, they're in their houses. Yeah. See, I was like, I see. Yeah, but they all naturally come naturally in the wild. They are not here. You can contribute to famine. You know nothing. Why? Why do you think I just said what I said after every step talking about Minecraft.

00;09;57;20 - 00;10;12;23
Unknown
You lost me. Sorry. I even don't even know anything about that. But to say we can go back to Minecraft. No, no, I don't want to. Last night I was on the couch, and Keegan was like, Mom, look at this. Look what I built. How do you think I built that? What do you think this is? And, like, I don't know, a hole he's like, it's a pillow.

00;10;12;23 - 00;10;38;00
Unknown
And I'm like, okay, well, that is a couch, but that just looks like a hole. I don't know what to tell you, son. These are all blocks. Yeah. You're a pillow at. Michael, wake up. Oh, no, it's. It's fine. He's on his phone He's supposed to be taking pictures. No, that's okay. Not in the photo. Okay, next question. Right. Variety of position.

00;10;38;00 - 00;10;53;25
Unknown
I mean, that's fair. And like a lot as a student, the students are the reason that everyone has jobs. So we understand they are just fun to talk with and I get to hear about all the drama that's happening in their grade, their class and stuff, which is fun. Good to hear about the professors, what they're learning.

00;10;54;26 - 00;11;11;01
Unknown
So Ive only had two to that of our actually talk to me like made it a point to be like hey who are you? I'm not surprised. They only come by and meet me the first time because we have to, and then they'll come back because of the chocolate that's fair So I keep it there. She's direct access. She's right across the lounge area.

00;11;12;18 - 00;11;37;02
Unknown
You don't even have to go talk to me. Just eavesdrop. Oh, the amount of times that I've been like, I thought, that's important to know. Quit talking about that stuff out loud. Yeah, maybe just a little quieter. I can't hear it. All right. So serious question. What direction do you hope to see the bush school go to in the future?

00;11;38;06 - 00;12;02;21
Unknown
it's distracted you to what direction? I hope to see the Bush School go in the future. I wish to teach my son that you repeat the question. So, you know, you heard it right. And understanding a good, good practice doesn't mean and that's my mom always told me to do that during interviews if I needed to stall to figure out how to answer instead of saying Mama or don't say anything at all for like a solid minute.

00;12;02;24 - 00;12;29;28
Unknown
And I'm like, go and my sister write something down. Just raise just stairs. Yes. And let's see. I think it's going in a really great direction. There's obviously areas where the school can improve like any place. I'm really excited with all of the steps that they're taking towards climate and culture within the bush school. I think that's very important.

00;12;29;28 - 00;12;55;06
Unknown
Climate and culture is a community culturally yesterday? Yes, it's changing. It has. I had to think about that cause I was like, they just changed the name. I think that's really important and I think it's a great way that we need to be advertising to not only students but faculty and to make sure that we stay relevant with all of the goings on in the world at this point.

00;12;55;06 - 00;13;20;05
Unknown
And then just to continue to touch and reach as many students as possible in order to get them to make that impact later on in life. So out of curiosity, how much involvement do you guys have with ICW? ICW we will typically help. I will coordinate the travel for the alumni who come in and then we'll help day of.

00;13;20;14 - 00;13;38;13
Unknown
Sometimes we will be roped into interview, but most of the time we try to keep that with faculty just because the faculty are the ones who actually know the material. We just know what we want to see in students. It's not quite the same. Students get more out of or potential students get more out of interviewing with faculty and they have better insight.

00;13;38;25 - 00;13;58;22
Unknown
Then I would say the staff do. Do they take y'all's input at all or just the faculty input? Looks like output too. So I interact with students throughout the day and if something is like a red flag or something really good about somebody, I'll make sure to mention it to our admissions team so they can add up to a file.

00;13;59;27 - 00;14;27;07
Unknown
I think that would be fun to be part of. It's fun, but you have to be here all day Saturday, which I guess you do sometimes anyway because of events. Unless you have kids, then I discriminate. Just kidding. She's not going there. You ever don't split things that we do. I try to make it even thats why Michael gets all the Saturday events

00;14;27;07 - 00;14;41;04
Unknown
Yeah, but. Okay, let's be. As far as Saturday events goes, there are some cool ones that are on Saturdays. There are. And he gets a lot of repeat clients that are he already knows and they love working with them. So, you know, it's always helpful because then you already kind of know what you're and how they communicate and all that jazz

00;14;41;04 - 00;14;58;08
Unknown
Well, it's like doing events with you, you know, like streamline the process as much just as long as the information is there, the processes and streamline. Yeah. You already know. If you don't hear from her in a week when you send her an email, it's because she's trying to track it down now because they don't give it to her.

00;14;59;02 - 00;15;16;08
Unknown
And if she says she doesn't have the information, then I'm like, okay, well, I'll go find a faculty. Help me pester them, please. Yes, I will follow you to your class. A lot of times there's some students will have like the guards or or faculty. We'll have guards and stuff and be like, Hey, I know you work with this professor.

00;15;16;15 - 00;15;39;04
Unknown
Can you start bothering them about this too? I need an answer. Can you give them this? Post it? Yeah. That's why I usually just email them and copy her in on it. Yeah. You know, flag it as high importance. Always every email isn't as high importance. The highest, even the ones I send to Mary. Hey do you have any boxes?

00;15;39;04 - 00;15;49;23
Unknown
She's very. How was your moving going. Oh it's not. We actually are starting packing this weekend. We move next week.

00;15;51;28 - 00;16;11;21
Unknown
Well I'm doing it this weekend because both my kids are with us and so I'm making the oldest one pack is whole room and I've already given him the box allotment he's allowed. So we don't just not put things in there. I told me to learn how to play Tetris. Yeah, I like that. Plus, then they realize how much stuff they have and they can get rid of crap they don't need.

00;16;11;24 - 00;16;26;09
Unknown
Yep. My mom did me a solid around Christmas. I usually go through their stuff around Christmas time, but my mom helped me out this year and her and my son went through all of this. I mean, they must have dumped like four or five giant bags of the curb. And I was like, sweet. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, sort of to move us out of the house.

00;16;26;27 - 00;16;47;18
Unknown
I'm still trying to get through all the clothes you gave me. Sorry. Why are you sorry? I serious? Yeah, I just didn't realize that kid wouldn't grow as fast as camp. Well, you know, and I put him on that vegetarian diet. Start growing, so poor kid doesn't have a hope in the world. Like it's that vegitarian. He's like, five, three, 130. pounds

00;16;47;18 - 00;17;12;26
Unknown
Like he's tall. Has nothing to do with diet. He says all genetics. Yeah, he's in for full head over. Keagan It's really funny which at this point Cameron Probably taller than my mom. Hi. He's 539. Last time I went to the doctor. Oh yeah, I'm, I'm only 411. Bless her. Condensed anger sometimes. Yeah, it's the short ones you got to watch out for.

00;17;13;19 - 00;17;40;01
Unknown
She's the silent, angry. Nice. Is there anything you'd like to share for anyone considering the bush school, whether it's faculty, staff or students thing, I've obviously stuck around for a reason, not just COVID but it's a really great place to be. Everybody is super friendly and welcoming and then you can always depend on them enough to make you feel like you're stupid or anything.

00;17;40;01 - 00;18;07;02
Unknown
It was also really nice because I asked some really stupid questions. Sometimes I'd be like, Yeah, I know I've asked this 12 times, but I'm going to ask it again, which is always really nice. You're lucky because by the fourth I'm like telling them, Write it down, documented somewhere. Well, I try to do that, but then there's sometimes like with travel, I'll call used to be Grace and then now it's not even that's just changes so much there's yeah you're never is the same thing with accounting.

00;18;07;02 - 00;18;24;16
Unknown
Jamie talked to me about stuff all the time when she was purchasing. I'm like, it's constantly changing. No matter what you do, whether it's coming from business services or if it's coming from Central. Yeah, it's terrible. Don't look, Sam. Look at the color. It's awful. Well, hers has glitter in it, too. Well, yeah, this is my. Sorry.

00;18;24;19 - 00;18;50;29
Unknown
I thought I sidebars like. Jesus, everything's changing. Yeah, it's always changing. Always changing. It makes me feel better about that. But you still do the nails. I do too. But these are terrible. My child rushed me last night. Want to go to bed now? She's like, Go to bed now. And the insurance is great. Yeah. Yes. Well, I'm still on the parents insurance because I'm 25, so I can stay on the for as long as I can.

00;18;51;04 - 00;19;11;17
Unknown
And I think I feel like a dinosaur when 25, the cap 26 is okay. There used to be 25, you turn 26 and then you get the rest of that calendar year. And then you have to switch over because most of the insurances, maybe the car insurance is 25. No, no, because you can't as long as my my older brother still my parents.

00;19;11;17 - 00;19;28;19
Unknown
car insurance Oh, yeah. That was a dumb question and dumb. Stephen Yeah, you're correct. I thought it was 25 if you think it used to be and then it's not the new 26. Yeah. Because I thought at one point it was like it was based on gender too. Like I always thought with, I don't know, I could be living in my own dream world of things.

00;19;28;19 - 00;19;50;13
Unknown
I remember when I was a kid not in the fifties anymore. Sarah Okay, bless you. Bless you. His whole body moved always in threes. He inherited it from his mother. Yeah. Okay, so this is Sarah's favorite question. She's not going. Nobody ever answers it. It's really annoying. Actually, one person did, but then they redirected and decided to say both.

00;19;50;21 - 00;20;20;06
Unknown
Yes, I'll go ahead and choose your favorite, the Dean or doctor Ashley do this. Is that interviewer right. You didn't repeat the question. I would plead the fifth, did everybody? So it's not like they listen to these. Isn't Dr. Ashley on these all the time. Yes, he's on the podcast Yeah. We just did one with him yesterday. What is it?

00;20;20;06 - 00;20;37;01
Unknown
You said you had the camera up, so there is no they they're both fantastic in their own ways. There's some things that I have frustrations about with both of them, but that goes for anybody that's there. There's people there who are just like, oh, my goodness, really a stop. But he had to be the villain on somebody's story.

00;20;37;14 - 00;20;59;15
Unknown
Yep. And unfortunately, Dr. Ashley and Dean Walsh are get stuck with that quite a lot more often than I would really. Can't please everybody. Right. But they have done a great, great service to the school. Absolutely love them, especially when Dr. Ashley dresses up in costume. I cannot believe you just did that. I cannot believe you just said that.

00;20;59;15 - 00;21;31;25
Unknown
She's doing well. That's what she's doing. Great answer. Thank you. Thank you. I dare you to start doing these over happy hour. You think I'm joking? I'm still here for a few more months. What? She said she's still here for a few more months now. We're making that official now on recording. I mean, I don't know if somebody else mentioned it to me the other day that had no interaction.

00;21;31;25 - 00;21;51;16
Unknown
But I think, again, by the time it gets posted, how many people listen to it? That's fair. You know that for all of the bush school students, because they have asked and stopped me. So people out there aren't listening to it. What do you mean? They stopped and asked. You what? Yeah, they were. They heard me talking to somebody and they were like, Hey, don't you do that podcast?

00;21;53;04 - 00;22;09;15
Unknown
Oh, that's really cool. Yeah. Did you ask them if they wanted to be on it? nope. You should ask. Actually, I don't. I consider to be all students. Yeah, yeah, we had that. Oh, I can't remember his name. That kid was funny. It's terrible. I don't remember how many years ago. It wasn't just last year, you know, last spring.

00;22;09;20 - 00;22;29;12
Unknown
It would be fun to have on. And Stockton would be fun. Yeah. He's all over the place. He really is. He is somebody I saw because Holly brought her puppies. He was in class. What? She never tells me. She never tells any of us. We always tell her to walk next door. I see that she walks straight by my office to go to Peg's office.

00;22;29;12 - 00;22;54;23
Unknown
Well, of course. And I always hear all the students come photos of the puppies, every doorbell. I know. They're so cute. Little pickles. I do? Yeah, they look PD. One of them's like a brindle. They have some cattle dog, and you have, like, the one of the patch black patch on their eye. Fawn Shaver. Q Apparently, they're getting along with Gracie really well too, which is good.

00;22;55;03 - 00;23;22;28
Unknown
Oh, no. Poor Holly. Oh, no. John Murphy, if you stop. Oh, yeah. Apparently one of them was, like, gnawing on Murphy. And now and Murphy reacted, of course, as you would. And now the dog, the puppy doesn't go near him, learned his lesson, five foot radius. So when are you bringing your pity? She was actually up over the break.

00;23;22;28 - 00;23;38;23
Unknown
She's. You were out loud. She barks a lot and she's very whiny and not conductive to great work. Hmm. Sounds like children, and it sounds like he can't talk. Yeah, exactly. Right.

00;23;40;27 - 00;23;59;25
Unknown
Well, when I brought her up last time, we're getting our apartment sprayed for bugs, which was absolutely terrible. But because I have the glass in my office, she can see anytime anybody walks by, even above the door shut interest are growling and huffing and there's a bark. And I'm just like, luka come on, im working please don't ruin it.

00;23;59;27 - 00;24;22;11
Unknown
I can't bring you anymore. So. But she gets super anxious to. She does not like to vary from her normal routine because I got to work with her birthday party. She'll be fine. Where are you doing it at? It's at some friend's house because we have, like, a yard and a bigger house. Our apartment is tiny, and I didn't invite a lot of people who was at the told us they hosted us.

00;24;22;11 - 00;24;39;12
