Well...the excitement of today's work was that J.Lo came to visit Sen. Barack Obama! As you probably don't know, Obama's office is down the hall and around the corner from Sen. Bingaman's office (that's where I work), so we heard about the visit pretty quick. However, Obama wasn't around... he was out campaigning (apparently in St. Louis), which WE all knew as informed people who watched the votes on the Senate floor today.
As the crowd gathered, we went up to the 8th floor to get a better view of Obama's office. We stood around for about 30 minutes, waiting for her to come out. We were speculating what she was doing there, and pretty much we came up with the "fact" that J.Lo is Obama's pick for VP. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, J.Lo is going to be the first female vice president. Because that wouldn't be ridiculous at all.
It was all rather amusing. The crowd gathered just by people passing by and hearing what was up and from all sorts of messages that were being sent around the senate. We got shushed about 3 times by the Capitol Police because basically the crowd was compromised of a bunch of interns and young staffers (who all LOVE to talk!). After a while, one of Obama's staffers went into the upstairs part of their office and put up a sign that said "She's Gone." We stood there in disbelief for a little while until we looked down to the first floor where the exit is... and saw a small crowd of about 10 people surrounding a young woman who was wearing a BRIGHT YELLOW dress... Sad days... no one got a picture of her coming out of his office... oh well.
So that is what happened on the Hill today: Your tax dollars [hard] at work!
