An Assembly Messenger
Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 4:45AM
The email was sent Friday, but I only received it today. I got a paid job! Success. Better keep it quiet though... and Englishman in an American job.
After lots of supportive and encouraging phone calls from my boss and other staff at work, singing my praises, the assembly Sergeant-At-Arms hired me to be on the page staff. A messenger, to run errands for representatives, staff various meetings, and do various other little tasks. At least, that's my impression of it anyway. I'm sure I'll learn all about it during orientation on Friday.
It's only part time, probably around 12-16hours a week, and only about $8.00, but it's so much better than nothing. And when the election is over, and things get busier, it will hopefully be more hours too. And who knows what it might lead to! Only time will tell, when the election is done, victory belongs to the Democrats, and lots of jobs open up in the Capitol. Here's to a big win!
P.S. I don't know if the flowerpot men ever made it over to the US, but I find it rather amusing whenever I send or receive an email from the Sergeant-At-Arms; his name is Bill, and I reply Ben...
