Topic: A Thorn By Any Other Name: ty. It was a name suitable for a princess and I had read enough fairy tales to know that I, indeed, wanted to be a princess. Who wouldn’t? Except when it came to sleeping uncomfortably on a pea, that is. I thought Rayanne was too boyish, but as I got older, I realized the “Anne” part made it severely less than boyish. Of course, there were those who failed to take the time to really read what my name was and would rattle off indiscriminately the following variations: Roseanne, Raylene, Roxanne, Royanne, Rossanne, and my personal favorite Renee – which looks nothing like Rayanne, unless you are lesdixic. And I later made the ultimate sacrifice by naming my second daughter that very name: Renee. My first recruiting boss settled into calling me Ray almost from day one and it has since stuck. Talk about sounding boyish. I have since settled in very nicely to liking my name and its multiple derivatives. Except when Animal decided I must from the South with a father named John Boy and a mother named Sue Ellen. Truth be told, there aren’t many women named Ray in recruiting, or even Rayanne – for that matter. So, in the end, it has all worked out pretty well for me. As I would leave my home for a party or dance or some other potentially dangerous youth activity, My mom and dad would typically say to me, “Remember who you are. Remember who you represent. Remember your name – our name.” Those words had significant impact on me and I have found myself using them on my own children. And now, I not only represent the Thorn name or just myself, but also my company and even my industry. It is not always easy to remember this or to stand in the right light with the right people – whoever they might be. But as long as I remain cognizant of that and that I am not a Bog Princess named Fred, I think I can stay on track. What does it mean to be a representative of my company, of my industry? Well, I am certainly not perfect – nor have I ever claimed to be…, but I am a hard worker and I try my darnedest to do the things that will bring the best the results. It’s part of that whole “better way” quest I have for myself. It means I try to keep in the forefront of my mind who I am and what I want to achieve – what my company needs to achieve for growth, market saturation, securing revenue, enjoying profit and longevity. I have a part in that – as does every other hand on our constantly swabbed deck. The sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

Topic: Brush With Fame. Yeah Right.: also have a major mom complex - buy healthy so they eat healthy. They even call me Momma Bean at work. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. I love caring for my work family as much as I do my own little family and home. And like most worthy endeavors, it isn't easy. On a recent such shopping trip, I waited in a checkout line that really should have moved much quicker, but stock boys kept coming by, the store manager stopped in my aisle for a chat, and the cashier wouldn't shut up. They seemed to be completely fascinated by the customer ahead of me. I waited patiently and proceeded to answer emails on my mobile device. Finally, the conveyor belt was cleared enough for me to unload my groceries. As the last of my items were being rung up, the cashier gathered enough wits about her to apologize for the delay. I mumbled that it was ok as I typed my phone number into the kiosk to be eligible for the in-store discounts. The cashier stopped, looked both ways and leaned in toward me. In a hushed voice, she asked if I knew who the customer ahead of me was. I leaned in and looked both ways, then slowly shook my head as the word, "nope" escaped my lips and"Does she know who I am?" The cashier giggled slightly, then pulled back, looked at me funny and said, "That was so and so from the blah-blah network." I shrugged my shoulders, not recognizing the name nor caring about the station where she anchored the news. I nodded, feigning awareness and mouthed, "OoOOohhh...." in nearly three full syllables. Not only did I not recognize the name but I cannot for the life of me recall it now or the details. Apparently, she is a news anchor that does a considerable amount of charity work locally and has the inside scoop regarding internships at her studio. Oh..,and she looks much thinner in person. Whatever. I just wanted to pay for my groceries and get into work ASAP. But my cashier wanted no part of that plan. My impatience began to shine through and the stock boy offered to help me out to my car. I said, "Unless you are going to go with me to work and help carry these up two flights of stairs, I think I can manage unloading a half-full shopping cart on my own." I proceeded on my way, arrived at work about 20 minutes after my self-estimated arrival time. Thanks Ms. News Philanthropy. All worked out well in the end, there was just some up-front frustration and slight impatience on my part. People like to do business with people they know - even if they don't really know them. This woman had been treated like royalty while she shopped in her bling-infested velveteen sweats and swinging Coach handbag. When our reputation precedes us, if it's a good one, we have a better than excellent chance of receiving some pretty decent service. But I would like to have much better things to be said about me than, "She's thinner in person." What are you doing today to better your reputation tomorrow? by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 1:28am on February 9, 2011

Topic: The Best Place to Get a Job: ourly wages increased by more than 11 percent from April in 2013 to the same month this year. By contrast, the average wage hike across the economy was about 2 percent, which was just enough to keep up with inflation. Oil and gas industry experts say not only are there plenty of newly created jobs but also thousands of positions will be vacated soon by retiring workers. The American Petroleum Institute warns of a “great crew change,” opening thousands of jobs to workers with the right skills. During the past decade, the United States has made tremendous strides in producing more domestic energy. Advances in technology, including hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling, have enabled the development of America’s shale formations, greatly increasing the nation’s energy bounty. The results have been nothing short of spectacular. The United States is now the world’s largest natural gas producer, and by next year the United States is expected to exceed the nation’s oil production record set in 1972. Furthermore, much of the new energy development has occurred on private land as landowners have signed contracts allowing drilling companies to spud wells on their property. A survey conducted among royalty owners—landowners who have leased their property for energy development—indicates they have been pleased with the outcome. More than 90 percent who responded to the survey say they would lease their land again, if given the opportunity. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that more than 162,000 new U.S. jobs were created from 2007 through 2012. IHS Global Insight says another 1.3 million jobs are expected to be created by 2030. Jobs in the upstream portion of the oil and gas industry pay more than twice the average national wage, and opportunities abound for college students who are considering declaring a major in engineering. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that petroleum engineers receive a median annual salary of more than $132,000, which is more than many top executives earn and far higher than the U.S. median household income of $51,017 reported in 2012. Most college students, however, tend to select majors for which they are ill-suited or ill-equipped. According to a study by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, engineering is not on the list of the top ten majors, yet it pays significantly more. Perhaps that explains at least part of the reason why so many college graduates find themselves living at home, working at minimum-wage jobs, and burdened with college-loan debt. The oil and gas industry has been the best-performing business sector in recent years, certainly since the beginning of the Great Recession. And it could offer even more opportunities if the Administration would adopt the right policies, such as opening more federally owned land to exploration. There’s a lot to like about the oil and gas industry, particularly now when the world is becoming an increasingly hostile place. For workers who want to do something meaningful, the oil and gas industry is on the high side.
