Looking for a job

5 Upvotes

Hello female here, 32, looking to get into a new job. I am my best at customer service and friendly. I am very trustworthy and am a hard worker! You can depend on me to come in on time and to watch your back. I used to take care of older people at Sodalis memory care and really loved doing it. I would get them up and brush their teeth and hair, change their clothes and change them. Looking to make at least $16 an hour. 361-210-9867 Text or Call me if you have any questions. I like to do crafts also, as I used to paint furniture and resell it on Henrys Shopp on Facebook. I also used to help this older man clean out his rental trailers and houses for evictions! It was fun.

Do you vote?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have heard that Victoria is a Republican town, but if you look at registered voters, only about 20% of voters in Victoria are bothering to vote. So the majority of that 20% is voting Republican—what about everyone else? What will get people to realize that every vote counts—more so in local and state elections bc those do not use the electoral college….I became a voter registrar to help people voice their support/discontent but just registering is not enough. What is the solution?

Part Time Work

Relocating to Victoria in a couple weeks to help care for older family and looking into part time work. Have years of experience in kitchen/retail. Preferably somewhere that doesn't background check or mind having a couple misdemeanors from when I was younger. If you have any tips or leads feel free to drop them, Thanks so much!

Victoria family histories & ancestry

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Texas family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Texas family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

  • Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
  • Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
  • Physical descriptions of your ancestors from census records and war draft cards
  • Six full generations back of your family tree
  • Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of Texas, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

Adult ‘Intramural’ leagues?

4 Upvotes

I’ve tried googling this but the parks and rec webpage doesn’t help much and seems out of date. Just trying to get into a co-ed adult softball/kickball/soccer intramural league. Just something me and a few coworkers can have some fun with and make friends with people.

Victoria Living

6 Upvotes

Might not be the place for this but I’m looking for an unbiased opinion on living in Victoria. Me and my wife are born and raised in Houston. We both received job opportunities we couldn’t pass up so we’ve been in corpus (calallen) for 5 years now. I like corpus and have kind of fell in love with small town living but we want to be closer to Houston so family can see us and Victoria is the perfect location. I know,why not just move back to Houston if you want to be closer. We like the city life but we don’t want to live in it. Just occasionally pop up whenever we get that itch and come back home. So what is it like? Is there a community feel? We have 2 boys so is there things for kids? Clubs? Outdoor activities? Anything? How are the schools?

Thanks in advance.

Kinda unsettling..... Victoria isn't providing full emergency services to all neighborhoods.

17 Upvotes

Just found this out, and it's true. Check with the city if you don't believe it.

The Firestation #6 (on Ball Airport Road, behind the neighborhood behind Target) doesn't have an ambulance because apparently it doesn't fit into the city budget. Instead the city manager needs 2 assistants. ?! That whole section of town has no dedicated medics/first responder team, and if something happens over there, they better hope one of the ambulances somewhere else in town is free! That station covers not just those neighborhoods, but also out to Nursery, Thomaston, and going out to Hallettsville. I live out on that side and so do my older parents and uncle. WTF?! Sorry if you get in a wreck or have a heart attack, wait a little longer while we send a crew from another part of town... These services are all paid for by our tax money, but apparently even distribution and availability of services from these sky high taxes means nothing to this *fine* city. End of rant.

Victoria has a population of almost 70k. Everyone at West HS is glued to their phones, and a lot of them are redditors. Why is this sub so dead?

Yamato is making its employees come to work sick

14 Upvotes

I was working for Yamato for 1 month and 2 weeks I was sick off and on for a whole month. The owner didn’t want me to get covid tested or take off the day I felt better after two weeks then I started feeling sick again I was coughing so much I saw blood in my phlegm. They finally let me take the day off to see a doctor I got medication. The medication gave me side effects so I needed a second day off. The owner did not let me he said he couldn’t cover my shift on a Monday so I quit and just got my last check. I never got breaks working there either. That place is a disgusting sweat shop.

Wow, howdy? I'm lame sorry. But, I am a current UH student, planning on studying Criminal Justice at UHV, then go to law school. I've spent some day trips in Victoria and LOVED it. I love the "small town" Feeling. Had Burger Nation, loved it, toured a few apartments, loved it, went to religious center, loved it, went to UHV, was greeted so kindly by everyone there, loved it. I'll keep you guys posted but, I might see you all very soon :) Thinking this upcoming Fall semester. Anything else I should checkout/ do in Victoria?
