People that talk in circles make me crazy. Say what you mean! It's not so hard. I was at a debate the a few nights ago and it was such a mess. My candidate did very well however he used a line that confused me. He said, "Let's talk about Joe Knollenberg's healthcare plan, or his lack of a plan." Then he went on to explain his plan in great detail. How is that a lack of a plan if you just explained the plan?...
In a conversation after the event we were talking about what we thought he needed to improve on and I made that one of my points. Someone at the round table explaiend to me that when he said, "lack of a plan" he was in fact reffering to how the plan was bad and I argued that he should have just said that. "Let's talk about Joe Knollenberg's bad plan for your healthcare"... would have been more effective and less confusing. Minor instance but it was annoying all the same.
I have made it a point to stay in my office during the day more often, I feel like when I am out on the other floors talking to people they are more apt to tell me their problems and as much as I want to help when you work ina building of 2k you cant help everyone. Last week I had a girl come upstairs to tell me all about how expensve her synthetic hair is and how it it important that I talk to her manager about giving her a raise. (Didn't happen) I realize that peoples problems are big to them, but when it comes to synthetic hair, I'm not bending over.
Last night I went with Jason(2)to a play at school. The play was Chekov in Yalta and it starred my friends Greg and Adrien. I was amazed with Adrien's performance, "she is like a modern Judy Garland" a lady said that was siting close to me. It got chills when I saw the audiences reaction to her. Everyone was blown away in a play that is somewhat stale.
Next weekend (the 23rd) MFCD is holding their first ever convention at U of M Flint. Im excited to see how that goes and even more excited for the social night afterword...I love my political friends, it's too nice to be witha group of people that are so accepting and really want to share their experiences with you.
