Friday was a busy day of scheduling meetings with Senators and Military Legislative Assistants for the Executive Director. Lunch, though, was with the Q-Street organization, which is a group of gay or lesbian lobbyists and staffers. We socialized and described what each office is currently working on and how we can help each other and use our resources. I enjoy hearing everyone's stories and then networking with people over a great lunch. Members from The Advocate, Human Rights Campaign, and several others are all in attendance. After work, a friend and KU alumna, invited me out for cocktails at the Capitol Hill Club. This club is for Republicans and membership is required. She is a full member and took me as her guest, it was great. We shared stories over drinks and enjoyed the company of other young Republican influentials. We sipped vodka and proudly wore our "Fire Pelosi" buttons. After cocktail hour, I met up with another friend that just moved here from KU and hit up a couple of the fun bars.
On Saturday, I had a relaxing day and caught up on some TV and the dishes. That evening I went out with a couple of my roommates and neighbors and another intern friend from KU. We had a great night out and sang some good ole nineties songs.
Sunday was used as a study LSAT day and catch up on some personal emails. I worked on several Student Senate items as well. The weekend is very much appreciated to catch up on relaxing and sleep but also to enjoy the evenings with some new and old friends.
The upcoming week will be both exciting and busy. My 'to-do' list at work is always growing and I stay busy all day, which is great if you know me. I cannot imagine a life without constant multitasking. My friend Jeff is also coming to visit and this upcoming weekend we are headed to NY for Pride! I believe there will be several young and beautiful people there as well!
Lesson Learned: Never underestimate the importance of a cocktail hour and networking that comes with it.
Fire Pelosi and replace her with John Boehner? Right, because that's going to help your life and the life of your friends out.

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see you soon and see how you have been working hard and supporting what you believe in!
Can't wait to see you!
Hey Al, I'm smiling and thinking about all the old, white, conservative Republicans (and I'm one of them!) and wondering what they think when they see you among them? I'm hoping they are happy to see a young, enthusiastic and unique addition to their party! If they don't think that, shame on them! Here's your MOM advice: never underestimate the bad image you portray if you overdo the cocktail hour! Love you bunches, MOM
