"you can lay the washington monument on it's side..."
Ok, so today was much better. I got to work (on time) at 8:30, and opened the office, yes, i have a key that opens the office, of a United States Congressman....whoa. So i get in and sort the mail, and do my other inernly duties, and go back to work scanning when everybody else got in. Luckily, that wasn't too long, and I'm getting used to who gets what mail. It's very confusing. Bradley gets this stuff, while Mike gets this, but Toby and LaTisha get this stuff. I'm learning.
Vernon Jones (DeKalb CEO) sent us coffee and danishes this AM.....So, me + free coffee = wired Bob (not to mention the coffee i had before going to work). I could have cleaned out the cage and danced all night.....of course, that feeling wore off by 11. I realized that scanning stuff is helpful because I get to read the letters that constituents write as well as Jim's replies. this helps me to learn alot about who I'm working for. All i know is that he's a South GA Democrat (read: Dixiecrat, read: Republican). I don't necessarily agree with him on every issue, but, I think his heart's in the right place, and he reminds me a lot of Congressman Santos on, you guessed it, The West Wing. He pretty much does what he wants to, wich about 50% of the times lands him on the left, and 50% on the right. Which, I believe is a little better than voting with your party all the time.
Also today, the national something of air traffic somethings had a reception, that I went to. There's not a bottle of Riesling in teh damn Capitol! I settled for Chardonnay and a roast beef sandwich (white wine, red meat, sandwich...lord). Then I left. I realized when I walked in my dorm room (at 8 PM) that I had been gone from my dorm for 12 hours and 30 minutes. This is the best job ever! I LOVE it so far!
When i got done, i ran...i ran so far away,.....well, at least to National Cathedral. It ended up taking me a total of 45 minutes to run there, around it and back. I'm trying to pick something, like that, and run to and from it....Or just to it and metro back....I don't know what I'll try next, but, i'm betting that my run was much cooler than Brad's.......now, washing the coffee pot, and starting it all over again.........
