Last week, I lost my job - a bummer.

It's OK. I've got enough money and I'm going to use this opportunity to try to really figure out what I want to do with my life.

But it's not great. I still don't know where my next paycheck is coming from. Well - actually, I do - thank you DC Department of Employment Services!

I think I want to work on in Congress, probably on the Senate side. As I see it, the entire town revolves around what Congress does, so I want to be where the action is. The challenge here is that I'm not quite sure what I'm qualified for. I'd love to work in a policy job, but I also want to help set the agenda and frame our debates. LA? Communications?

I have a friend in Durbin's office and "whipping" sounds pretty cool too. So, yes, I have a very clear sense of what I want out of life. Ugh.

I'm writing about this because if any of y'all out there have any ideas or leads, I'd love to hear it.
