Wow. I cant believe Im
at this point. My security clearance for
the Department of Homeland Security has finally come. Thanks to everyone who helped, I will be
starting my job tomorrow. I am excited
and a little nervous. I will be ready
for tomorrow though. I will make sure
when I am done with this post to slow myself down, calmly make sure everything
is ready, get up bright and early, and ROCK tomorrow.
Still, I am sorry to be leaving the AAPD office. It was a great place to work that gave me the
opportunity to go to a Senatorial hearing, write for the AAPD’s website blog,
read a house committee hearing transcript, and learn about healthcare. And it was a great place to be when word came
that the ACA passed. Above all, it was a
terrific office environment to work in.
The people were nice and incredibly patient, which is someone I know I
need (well would REALLY like) in my job.
A big thanks to everyone who gave me a great opportunity and experience.
What to report on aside from that? Not much.
I had a very relaxing weekend, with the day in which I did the most activity
probably being today. Despite the heat
and blackouts, I am proud to say I braved the elements and bought a truckload
of food! I like to think I complete Joseph
Cambell’s heroes journey (for those curious, yes I am being extremely over
dramatic and have never actually read that book. Just having some, well, over-the-top fun
;)) I have also been watching some
interesting stuff on internet tv. More great
specials from Terry Jones, along with the Animal Planet special Mermaid: the
Body Found. Its….well let me put it this
way. It made me reflect on the dangers of billing
that which is fictional as non-fictional too aggressively. But still tremendously engaging and fun to
watch for what it is worth.
Well, see you all next week!
