Reality hit hard when I realized I couldn't wake up whenever I wanted to, see whatever amazing monument, museum or events that I wanted or finish off the day at some amazing restaurant. Now I have to do what I really came to D.C. for…bummer.
This weekend made it even more difficult to go back to work - it was an extension of the amazing week we had off. We went to see Arlington National Cemetery, walked around Old Town Alexandria, ate at an amazing restaurant by the water, watched TCU win their season opener at Cowboy stadium, worked on my paper (a little), had a movie night, went to a National’s game and finally, ate at Ben’s Chili Bowl (everything is covered in chili, which means everything was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G). All of these experiences made today a difficult pill to swallow…but hearing about all the amazing opportunities I will have was like a spoon full of sugar (Mary Poppins reference…everyone get it??).
Tricom is an amazing PR firm. I think of it as the little PR engine that could - the Arlington office has seven people...so you can put extra emphasis on "little". They produce quality work and provide personal support to a variety of different clients with different needs, wants, objectives and budgets. This is all done with small budgets and an even smaller staff base – but it is all about quality over quantity. I learned about one of our clients today and was blown away by what they are trying to do:
The Eldercare Workforce Alliance is advocating for education and support of professional and non-professional workers who take care of aging Americans – something everyone should think about as almost all of the baby boomers are now over the hill. The most interesting part of their mission is how they want to educate and support non-paid caregivers (family, friends, spouses, etc…) – empower them to care of their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and so on. It is such an interesting stance and if you want to learn more visit their website (click here). Tricom will be doing a lot of work for them (especially at the end of this month, wink wink) so keep your eyes peeled.
I am truly looking forward to work tomorrow…even though as we speak I am fighting to keep my eyes open. To see any of the work I do – follow Tricom on facebook and twitter (their links are on the left side of this blog) – the more followers the better!!
Off to bed - First night of class tomorrow, first night of class tomorrow, first night of class tomorrow…
