wheels turning round



after years of working in congress and exactly 6 years as committee technical staff of various house committees, i attended a house committee hearing as a resource person. 

it felt really weird at first.  after all, i started out as the go-girl during my first ever committee hearing, making sure that all members & guests had their nameplates (que horror if you misspelled the name of a congressman, or put a different district under his name), giving out the members' complete kits & materials, running around looking for members to "borrow" from other committee meetings... you get the drift. 

today... i was just there, waiting for the meeting to start.  and i had my own nameplate. haha.

at the very least, these little things make me realize that my continued stay in congress is stable but not stagnant. 

the ladder is mine to climb. question is, do i really, really, really want to climb it?

hehe. dahil dati akong CAD staff, medyo nahiya akong hingin yung nameplate ko. kasi dati, i found it weird pag hinihingi yung nameplate na pinaghirapan ko. kasi naman, that would mean making another nameplate for the next meeting. hahaha.
