When I talk to some non-staffers, I think they get the impression that working at the Capitol is a cushy job with free time galore. And it is, on Fridays. The rest of the time, it’s a constant quest. You are always looking for information or somebody who has information. On the flip side, sometimes people are looking for you because you have information.
What do you do once you get the information? You start sharing it with others who know what to do with it.
Another portion of our time goes into running errands. We’re picking up something, or dropping off something. Today, for example, I spent the morning running around looking for an available copier to make hearing packets. Afterwards, I had to run around distributing the packets to members’ offices. If there is one thing I’ll get out of this experience, it’s endurance to be walking up and down stairs. I just picked up some dry cleaning and am headed back to the office to find out what the latest actions will be.
