Work, Work, Work All Day Long

Work is definitely started to drudge along a little. This past weekend marked about the 1/3 of the way through point (holy hell, where's my summer going??!!), but the guy that I'm researching for the oral history project is, well, kinda boring. One of those people that should have left the House before they did, but stayed because they kinda dug knowing everything and holding people to the "rules" even when they were a detriment to progress. I only have a few more years of Legislative Journals to work through and then I'm done...and then we're soon going to be moving on to processing collections and all that fun stuff, which was the whole point in actually getting this job. I'm excited to go through people's papers, in a slightly nosey and voyeuristic manner, and see what actually happens in the House, behind the scenes. I've seen the House floor, but that's all for show...for getting up at the podium and getting your 15 minutes with the hope of being re-elected. I'm hoping to sneak out to a committee meeting before session is over...but once the budget talks start (don't even get me started...that's a topic for another day--aka the budget talks should have started weeks ago!!), that kind of stuff will be at an end. I just need a change, I guess. I've been doing pretty much the same thing for like 3 1/2 weeks and I need something different. I have the attention span of a small ant, you know.
