Pondering the future and a return to Congress...

The past few weeks have certainly been interesting, and busy. My boss has been getting lots of radio and tv time lately, and for me that means LOTS of constituents calling in to chime in with their two cents on the things said in the interviews. Also, Congress is busy with this whole Toyota recall thing, so I am getting calls from people in Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, all over complaining about their Toyota or Lexus. I just be quiet and let them vent for ten or so minutes. They feel much better just knowing that someone in Congress doesn't mind listening.


While we are on the subject of Congress, let me just say never have a I ever worked before in an institution that so much of America disapproves of. I read today that just 10% of those surveyed thought Congress was doing an excellent or good job. OUCH. Secretly, I kind of like it. Secretly, I kind of think it would be awesome if every incumbent was voted out of office this election year. It would be mass hysteria, but it would be awesome.


And now for the serious part of the post...


Ladies and gents, every time I give tours of the Capitol complex (which is often) I am asked by the guests, "What are your future career plans?". A few months ago I would have told them that I could see myself running for Congress one day. But now I am almost certain that if I do return to public service, it would be in a different capacity. And of course part of me still thinks I need to become a rock star... (not really a rock star, but a touring, recording musician somehow)


All I know is that I am completely open to wherever God takes me and whatever capacity that is in. I just hope that my experience here doesn't completely make me turned off to a possible God given opportunity to come back and work in Congress.




My friend Amanda from Tech came up for CPAC (conservative political action committee) which I pseudo attended last weekend.


Until next time...


Peace and love,
