H.R. No. 2733 R E S O L U T I O N WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to honor Rianna Richardson for her outstanding work as an intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and WHEREAS, Known as "The Tall One" to those who are unable to read her nameplate, she was the rock on which the office founded its intern empire; possibly even more opinionated than she is tall, she made clear her opinion on the issue of state-contracted inmate labor less than a week into her employment, perhaps having misheard it as "state-contracted intern labor"; the office's resident conspiracy theorist, she also dug her young and malleable brain into such topics as American Colonialism, enhanced driver's licenses, and the percentage of students on campus who receive artificial tans and the potential cross-section of students who are members of Greek fraternal organizations; and WHEREAS, Famously dependent on coffee, Ms. Richardson was perhaps driven by an excess of caffeine to leave sarcastic notes and dirty cups as an expression of her pure disdain for her arch-nemesis, the afternoon intern, Adam, who, to be honest, had it coming; on the other hand, she has developed a genuine friendship with her shift-partner, Natalie, and she is completely devoted to her dog, Gandalf, even though (his name notwithstanding) he doesn't appear to be able to battle Balrogs, cast spells, or blow smoke rings; and WHEREAS, Since joining the staff, Rianna Richardson has proven to be an indispensible member of the staff and a pure delight to work with, and it is most fitting to recognize her for a job well done; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas Legislature hereby commend Rianna Richardson for her service as an intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms. Richardson as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
