Week One Overview

I apologize for not having posted sooner. I’ve had tons of things to write about and I’ve been learning like crazy, but when you spend 8 hours a day working on the computer it’s hard to want to spend more time blogging at home.

Work has been pretty decent so far. My first day I even got to accompany Jim Wallis himself to an interview on Capitol Hill with NPR. Craziness. Since then it’s mostly been working on the computer, sending emails, compiling press lists, archiving new coverage, etc. My body and mind are still adjusting to 8 hours in the office, but I’m learning at breakneck pace.

It’s almost as if my job is learning. Half of that is just that I’m learning my way around some new computer systems, working the phones, filling out payment orders, etc. But I read pretty much any and every news story at all pertaining to faith and politics or poverty or social justice. It’s quite excellent.

Living at the house continues to be wonderful. Morning prayer. Staying up making waaaay too much humus. Eating really good, fairly cheap, fairly health, mostly meat-free food. Playing outburst. Singing. Having really intense, honest theological/spiritual/political/life conversations. Exploring the city. Laughing.

Yup. Life is good.
