Back again

My jetsetting complete, I have returned from my jaunt up north. I'd forgotten (as I think happens every summer) how oppressive the weather is. I enjoy snow, and can even stand the cold. As Anne drove me to the airport, I looked at the snow on the ground, and realized that it might remain there for months. Though the weather wasn't a factor in my decision to move south, I'm certainly pleased that I won't be putting up with another Minnesota winter.

And on Wednesday I was formally offered (and formally accepted) an internship with the Senate Finance Committee. Details about my specific duties (excluding the menial copying and mail sorting) are forthcoming. The goal, in accepting this unpaid position, is that I'll end up with a full-time offer, either from this committee, or somewhere else in the government. Or I'll realize I don't want to work on the hill after all, and can flee to the nonprofit world with a better resume, and in a better economy.
