Today was my first day in person, and from my first step past security it was total immersion in a whole new world. Even before we had our first official meeting, just walking around with Ms. DeVivo was eye-opening. It seemed like she knew person we walked past and had something important to discuss with every second person we saw.
This is a bit of a down week in the Legislative Office, but to start it we were tracking a bill in the House Health Committee meeting that would make organ donation consent evergreen. Before the meeting started I met multitudes of people, each with their own clients, constituents, and connections to the committee’s proceedings. The meeting was lighthearted, everything went according to norm (at least I think it did, I’m not too sure what the norm is but it seemed normal to everyone else), and each bill presented passed unopposed.
Tomorrow, we are meeting with legislators on behalf of a charter school organization.
