Quiet

Today seems quite out of place when compared to the last week and a half. There seemed to be no real action today. We ran out of processed mail yesterday leaving us only to write a few custom letters for the entire day. The phones were also relatively quiet throughout the day, with the last remnants of tconstituents calling about the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. A few callers were not yet aware that the Bill was passed by the full House last Friday evening but they still wanted the Congressman to know of their perspective.

Well not only was the workload quiet, but so was the office. With a bit more of a flexible schedule, our office was nearly empty at times. My intern colleagues were able to spread out a bit and staff different parts of the fort, as two of the Legislative Affairs staffers so aptly described it to me today. A bit less stress of the past week was a pleasant change of pace.
