I have to share a quick story with you all so you can get enraged with me. Let me clarify that most lobbyists are pretty good people, but some are scum, and my ex father in law and his friends fit in the scum category.

So here's the story: This lobbyist (friend of my ex father in law) came up to me at the capitol last week asking about grad school. I told him what I was doing, then he said “so you’re ready to leave politics behind?” I told him for now at least, yes. Then he said “I doubt you’ll last long. You’ll find school to be much harder than you think. I bet you’ll be back in a month.” I thought he was joking so I just laughed and said “we’ll see.” But then he repeated it again – totally straight face serious! I'm quite positive that his friend Craig Peterson is telling him how his son’s ex-wife can’t handle commitment: she dropped out of law school, she left her marriage. So of course she can't handle business school. I was so mad.
