| | Today was my page briefing. It was quite different than I expected ... fairly relaxed. The other pages (session one) came to sit in the legislators' chairs and listen to our "briefing." The sergeant-at-arms and his assistant conducted the briefing. It took about 2 hrs, and then we wandered around with the other pages for 15 min. The Capitol is more than dead on Sunday ... even during the winter it is busy, but I saw one non-page or House worker today. And while I was walking out with the other new pages, I met the page that you IC people know ... I don't recall her name. She said that you told her I was a homeschooled genius? Seriously ... knock it off. One of the other new pages did FPS for a while, and was just getting back into it this year. She said, "You're one of those homeschoolers?" I was like ... yeah, we're the ones who stand up when our teams win at state. Which is a lot in the past four years. I kinda felt bad ... it would be strange if we competed against her at state.
Anyways, I got my uniform. The pants are more tan than grey, and instead of a maroon and blue blazer, we only got blue. At least my ties still work. I start tomorrow at 8 AM ... and I still have no idea what I'm doing. It's gonna be great.
The pages said that there is free food almost every day ... a free breakfast, sometimes free lunch. I like that. A lot.
The weekend leading up to today was good as well ... I evaluated FPS packets until my mind melted ... but my paycheck will be well worth it.
I'll keep you guys posted in the days to come ... stay tune.
