Tues, Wed, Thurs

So basically I found out that I am going to be doing runs for this entire week just by the way the schedule that was set up by Mrs. Keating (the democratic page supervisor) works out.  I did do "annex" on wednesday but, obviously, the day I do annex we get no runs to the annex.  Being "annex" is like being a special runner where you make runs to the senate, the senate office buildings, or the Ford building (some random office building).  So on wednesday I did normal runs like tuesday and today.  While they were voting on tuesday, I chatted with Congressman Kildee (MI) and Congressman Frelinghuysen (NJ).  Nancy Pelosi and Ron Paul also walked by me while on the way to vote.  Wednesday was late night for my group so I was a statement page and ran the democratic page desk.  As a statement page, I grab the papers the congressmen use to speak and take them to the gavel (the front of the house desk at the front of the room) to be put on the congressional record.  Once session moved to special orders I moved behind the desk where we take calls for runs, assign runs, and keep track of the runners.  Its a lot easier because you literally do not have to move and when your feet are blistered and sore from running, like mine unfortunately, its the best place to be.  I have also been grabbing the congressmens' business cards when I make runs to their rooms and I have probably accumulated about 20 so far and I started on wednesday.  On wednesday some of the amendments were to:  1. Require Obama to tell taxpayers what their dollars are for when sent to the UN in some foreign relations bill  2. Reorganize taxpayer dollars when sending criminals to their home countries that literally don't even want them  3. Let Americans overseas take part in censuses and voting.  These were all I listened to for like 30 mins as a statement page.  Today, I made 7 runs from offices to the cloak room, delivered 10 flags from offices to the flag room, and also delivered one from the office of the clerk, with barney frank's signature on it, to nancy pelosi's office.  The cloak room is just the command center for our party where some congressman chill and other pages answer phones for them.  I also stopped by Congressman Brady's office today.  I was making a run in the Cannon building with a kid from Cali and we passed his sponsor's office, nancy pelosi, and mine (Brady).  I met his secretary who helped me get together my application and who was way too ecstatic to see me.  I talked with Brady for a few minutes and he told me to stop by any time.  I forgot to do wash to day but I guess I'll do it tomorrow.  I did get my dry-cleaning out so we're moving forward in the wash department.  I don't really know how to end this post but I'll end it with what Anthony Siviglia from FL says.......negative ghostrider (while wearing aviators).
