DC'd out...

We now have two out of our three summer interns on board. 3! We are a 6 person firm. Huh? The good news about that is I can give what little work I regularly have to them, so I can dedicate more time to my perpetual job search. The bad piece about that is I have no idea what I want to do with myself professionally and am in no frame of mind to be chipper about this place and my work here in front of young, fresh-faced interns. I continue to apply for legislative assistant/government affairs type positions, but sadly my experience here has led me question whether I even want to continue in this line of work. If I can get myself paid twice as much and in a position that allows me to represent only positive, consumer friendly issues maybe... I have an interview Wednesday at the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Right. I know nothing about the recreational boating industry, but it's got to be better than spinning high-interest tax refund anticipation loans as a good deal, no? I'd like to be called for the government affairs position I applied for at Bono's DATA (Debt AIDS Trade Africa) organization, but I think that one's a little out of my league. Oh well. Time to keep plugging away.

And in weekend news, will get some pictures up soon, but I foresee a summer full of visits to every playground in Alexandria. That is all the child wants to do (and I don't blame her in light of our close living quarters.) We went to playgrounds three times in two days. The newest discovery is the sandbox and I was still finding grains in her diaper this morning. Other highlights included the parrot rescue people by the Torpedo factory, the balloon man, and a visit to a mammoth candy store (yep, she has my sweet tooth - anything gummi is the current obsession.)

In TV/Movie news, watched Notes on a Scandal. Excellent acting and score. Tracked well with the book and Judi Dench managed to play Barbara even more brilliantly creepy than she read. I can't get too jazzed about Housewives even though a lot went down. Brothers and Sisters was great. Loved the McAllister clan and Jason + Kevin = HAWT!!
