Tonight I party.

I am continually amazed at all the opportunities that I have received from my time at Metro. I never would have believed someone if they had told me three years ago that I would end up where I am today.

Tonight I am attending an event for a State Representative. I was introduced to her during my time lobbying at the state capital. She introduced me on the House floor, and has given me so much help and knowledge. Tonight I get to go and meet a good number of influential people in the state, and it's all because of the people at Metro who helped me get to where I am right now. I don't think that I could ever thank them all enough.

As for the rest of the week, I think it might kill me. I've got to move into my new apartment, appoint my candidate for the Vice President position, do all the tasks I've been given for the campaigns I'm working on, and renew my drivers licence (which expired already, shh.) At least I can't complain that I don't have enough excitement in my life.

Here's to never having a dull moment.

Cheers.

update...

I wanted to post an update to my story last week, but Blogger hasn't been letting me log on. It was an even more interesting day after the leak.

So after dealing with the shower of water in my bedroom, I had to drive to Arvada (Where my folks live) to shower for a meeting that I had at noon. I couldn't miss this meeting because it was with a person that I have been trying to meet with for five months. Every time we have gotten something scheduled, one of us has had to cancel. I had to make it to this meeting.

I got to Arvada. I got to my folks house. As I was taking a shower, what should happen but......the shower-head broke clean off, striking me in the face and spraying water everywhere. I had to rinse off by curling up under the bath faucet.

I was about to leave for Denver again, and as I got into my car I was bit on the back of the neck by a huge spider. As I grabbed it to get it off me, it bit me on the finger.

At that point, I had had enough. I wanted to go to be and be done with the day. The only problem was that the day was hardly over. I still had to spend about eight hours working, and then continue cleaning when I got home.

As awful as that day was, it really just makes me laugh. How many people have hat two plumbing disasters and been bitten by a spider all in one day? I'll remember that day for a long time.

What a morning

I awoke at 4:00 am to the sound of dripping water. I popped out of bed, cleared my things away from the area, and ran upstairs. The hot water handle of a shower on the second floor had completely broken off. There was no way to turn of that part of the shower, so we had to turn off the water to the entire house.

I live in an apartment in an old house in Capitol Hill. It was built in the 1800's, and it shows. We have had too many problems with the place to count them all. Most of them have been minor enough by themselves to really bother us, but this was really bad.

Lesson learned: Do not, under any circumstance, move into an apartment that is more than 100 years old.

I went to bed with a migraine headache, and woke up to an entirely different headache. I've been up since then. I need some coffee.

Semi-Arid vs. Full On Desert

I love the weather in Colorado. If it snows, the sun will come out within a day to melt it all, and it feels like summer. If it's really hot for a while, soon to will cool down and rain for a few days. I always heard growing up, "If you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait 15 minutes."

The weather is perfect right now. I don't want it to change one bit. The sky is a little overcast. It rained last night. The air is cool. Most importantly, I'm not sweating.

I'm going to miss out on the beautiful Colorado weather this weekend though. I'm off to visit family in New Mexico. Don't get me wrong. No matter what the weather, I would still go see my family. I just wish they didn't live in the desert. I can only imagine how hot it's going to be down there. Also, there is going to be a wedding. Meaning: I have to wear a wool suit. Suits were not designed for people in deserts.

Oh well. I'm here till tomorrow morning, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can. I think I'm going to steal my room mate's moped, go for a ride, and then get some work done. It's going to be a nice day.

More to come....
