This past Thursday the Mayor gave his State of the City address to the people of Cincinnati. This week leading up to this event, the office was flooded with calls of people to RSVP. The Mayor was working on his speech for most of the week, and everyone was working with the venue and guests to make sure everything was absolutely in order.
While I didn't go to the event, I know that it went off without a glitch. The office opened late the next day to give the staff a well deserved sleep-in morning. Ever since then the office has been buzzing with responses to the address. It's really nice to see that most of these responses are good ones. People were pleased with various aspects of the mayor's future plans for the city. Interestingly, most of the people who have reached out to the Mayor are also pleased with how things have been going so far during the year he has been in office. My job only becomes busier as staff members pass off work to me as they get involved with their own projects and the council gets settled into their work year. I always have something on my desk to do, and if I don't I have plenty of emails to answer or the phone is ringing off the hook. I am so enjoying my time there, and the more I answer the phone or respond to emails and letters the more I feel like I am growing as a professional presence, which is one of the goals I had for myself starting on this internship journey. Forever looking foreword to the next day. M
