Busy DAY busy DAY

Three updates in one day!

It's 4:00pm and I'm still at work. It's been crazy here and the legislature hasn't even started rolling the ball yet since they're still dealing with last year's issues. I've had workload up to my neck today. The conference call regarding budget and proposition 98 was interesting. It was my first conference call ever. I still need to type up my notes from the meeting. I couldn't join in on the debate since I am not authorized to give my input unless I had questions. I didn't want to give my organization a bad rep if I opened my mouth, so I stayed quiet. It's better that way. The drama can be saved for Cheetah's mama. My friend isn't feeling too well so they cancelled Happy Hour, but they might come out to Fox and Goose to relax. I really wanted to see Shutter Island today, but apparently Philliam made other plans for us... I've been wanting to see that movie for three months now and he knew it. Today is opening day. I wanted to go. But, because he isn't feeling well either, I decided to play the sympathy card and pretend we didn't make any movie plans for movies. I'm going to suck it up and pretend that I'd rather be at an English Pub rather than be at the movie theatre, watching a movie that I've been anxiously wanting to see for three months now...

another day, another dollar.

Busy Friday Morning. Fridays are normally chill at work. Seeing that this is my 2nd to the last Friday before I am let go from my internship, I'm surprised by the amount of new assignments that I have to do this morning! Interesting. I have to do some research on a bill that was vetoed back in 2008 which passed every committee hearing until it hit the desk of the governator. Then I have a conference call at 11am. Afterwards, I'm back to my usual Friday routine of screening calls, looking up next week's legislative meeting and agenda, do some filing and data entry, then it's 2pm, I'm off work! Philliam is riding his bike to downtown to meet me at 2pm then we're killing time by being hoodlums until 5pm where we'll meet up with Alex and Christina J for happy hour and some much needed relaxation and reflection on where we are today. Once it's after 11pm, I'll head over to my parent's house to avoid the cold silence and angry glare from my middle sister's room and meet the sad emptyness of my baby sister's room. No worries, Hilarydilarydoo will be back on Sunday from her SoCal trip. She's currently at UCSD doing a tour of the school. Now it's back to work and watching CNN.
