Drew C....K street big shot?

Yes my office is on K street in the Golden Triangle coalition, but I am far from a big shot.

I woke up this morning, not having a clue where I was. I have a huge bay window and I could see that it was foggy and hazy, and to my dismay, it was not a cool refreshing fog like we have in Denver. It was instead, a warm, smothering and almost suffocating fog and at 7 48 am (That would be 548 Mountain Standard time, which also makes it the earliest I have ever woken up in my life) it was already in the 70s. Not cool is what I said to myself, and then chuckled a little about how clever I was, and then almost got ran over by a Mercedes Benz. People who drive Mercedes in this town are crazy, they run red lights, don't signal, and don't slow down for peds. The cross walks are not clearly marked out here and some corners don't have walk signals.

I thought that in a city filled with the best lawyers in the world, there would be some pedestrian safety precautions.


I stroll down K street and my office building is across the street from where I thought it was, but any how the security guard somehow already knows I'm an intern, and after singing in, I head to the top floor for orientation.

I am pleased that there are 12 other young interns who are all fairly friendly, and happy that the Legislative and Political Action department (my department) gets the top floor and amazing offices. Everyone I work with are nice, helpful, and intelligent.

I am going to like my job.


I take my first subway ride on the Metro and it was quite the experience. They are nothing like the Light Rail of Denver because they are older and super noisy. You can't hear a thing and they shake like this bum that is always standing by Old Green George. However, there is no "Gap" to "mind" (sorry Marissa). I had to travel all the way across the District to target for some groceries . I hate target (sorry sisters) but for now it's the only place I have found.


Day two starts tomorrow and I look forward to the weekend (that'll never change).



Peace,
