Okay, some of you might be thinking this post is a little old, but it’s not. 

Yesterday afternoon I was working in my office and I got a phone call from the House Republican Caucus.  They asked me if I would like to come on and work for them.  It would be a session-only job being an Legislative Assistant for a Rep or two.  I told them I would think about it.

It’s a cut in pay, and only through this session.  But it’s my foot in the door, and if a fulltime job opens up (which usually happens about 2-3 times a month) I’d have a leg up. 

So after talking it over with my wife, and seeking out the counsel of some wise people I decided that I would take this job.  I start there tomorrow.  I feel kind of bad for leaving so soon, but it’s only a temp job here anyway.  Sometimes you have to take risks to get ahead, so that’s what I’m doing. 

Plus it’s on my career path, and it’s a good way to get in.  It’s using my degree, and seems like it will be fun.  So I’m excited to start at the Capitol at 8:30 am tomorrow.

So that’s what the stress was all about yesterday.
