My new favorite photo angle

Yesterday I did my 2nd 13-hour day in a row. Basic working hours for me are 7am-8pm. Most difficult thing right now is learning the Congressional language and what all the different procedural measures mean.

The above pic is of me at my desk watching the TV we have in the office, which is usually on the House proceedings. There were a few votes yesterday that the Legislative staff was briefing the Congressman on.

I'm still trying to figure out when I'm going to be able to workout and ride my bike when I'm getting up at 5am and going home in time to eat a late dinner and go to bed. I haven't done anything in the way of riding or the gym this week, at all.

JW asked why I was wearing a suit to work. Those are the rules for Legislative Fellows, no uniform, civilian clothes the entire time.

I'm thinking about Toon right now and his wedding to Michelle this weekend. Cezanne and I are really bummed that we couldn't make it. If we would have kept our original plans and airline tickets, we would be in Michigan right now. We'll just have to make other plans to see them when this "deployment" is over.
