Why are you in Las Vegas?

27 May

I have gotten this question many times recently. Probably because of my ambiguous status updates on facebook. Well, here’s the explanation:

A few weeks ago (right after I got back from Europe), I got a call from a lobbyist who needed some help on a national campaign in Nevada. A sitting assemblyman is running for United States Senate against Harry Reid and needs help on the campaign. So, after consulting with a few people I trust in Utah politics, I made the decision to take the job. A week later, I was in Las Vegas. I knew I would have to be here for 30 days at least, in order to get my candidate out of the Republican Primary Election on June 8th.

Well, so far, this experience has been incredible. I am pretty sure that I was made to campaign. I get to go around and talk to people about my candidate and utilize my web 2.0 skills. Last weekend we took a road trip around Nevada and visited many small towns, such as Yerington and Ely. Awesome.

So there it is. I am living in Las Vegas for a month (actually, only about 2 more weeks) and having the time of my life. This opportunity came at a great time and I feel very blessed.

Check out my boss here. And if you live in Nevada, get out to vote for him!

And we’re back…

I promise a Greece and Spain blog with pictures is forthcoming. But for now, I will tell you of a weird habit I have at work.

As many of you know, I drink a lot of water. I mean A LOT. I’m sure its more than the daily necessity. But for some reason, when I am at work at my desk (sipping at a glass of water all day), I wait until the absolute LAST MINUTE to go to the restroom. So I let myself get to a point where I may not make it down the hall. And my stomach hurts a little. Why do I do this? I don’t know.

But I gotta run to the restroom quickly. (Will be back with Europe blog as promised…)
