The office this week was super busy but it was really cool to see how even through all that business how people are still able to work calmly and get actually progressive work done.
The Mayor is really great and every day he comes in he is ready with a smile on his face, even though he hasn't yet had his coffee. He is really driven to do good work for the city of Cincinnati, and isn't deterred by something having a minor bump in the road. He likes having interns that are interested in his work and politics in general, and always asks us how we're doing. The staff is just as genuine and every morning when I come in someone greets me by name and with a very pleasant "Good Morning". As I learn the system (like who to contact for what issue), every time I ask someone they are willing to give me an answer and do so nicely. (Even when I ask the same question I have already asked every single day I've been in the office.) I'm learning slowly but surely, although the security guards know my face now. Speaking of security and the security guards, I received a pass this week with my name and face on it. So now instead of signing in with my name and the time and a bunch of other information, all I have to do is flash my little pass and I'm good to go. It's a simple little thing, but it makes me feel really official, even though my Bearcat card is more complicated than this pass is. I'm still excited every day to wake up and head to the Mayor's office, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Much Love, M
