Is there a special reason why you would want to work in the White House? Because that's pretty restricted!

[next_to_normal]

I work in government, so that's about as high up as you can get. Ultimately, I want to be Chief of Staff to the President, but I'll only be 34 in 10 years, so it's not likely I'll have made it that far yet. It'll be many more years before anyone I know runs for President.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I'm impressed! But I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy (which I don't actually have) to run for President: it's a brutal ordeal...

[next_to_normal]

Oh lord, I don't want to run, either. That's why I want to be COS. :) All of the power, none of the pesky campaigning, lol.

WATCHED THE SUNRISE WITH SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT?
No. I'm not a morning person, so someone I care about would be wise to stay away from me if I'm up at sunrise.

This made me laugh. In that sympathetic, I've actually scared people with my morning grumpiness-way.

I'm in the Washington area, too, but miss my native CA. Sucky mosquito weather on the rise... :(

[next_to_normal]

LOL, you don't want to mess with me in the morning.

I'm actually not in Washington yet, but I plan to be in the next year or so once I start grad school.
