A few days later, I was running late for a meeting and went into the Capitol just on the street level.
Asked the Capitol Police officer there.
I was like, hey, this is where I'm trying to go.
It's in the basement.
Can you point me in the right direction, please?
Because I don't know exactly where it is.
And there's a woman.
She said, yeah, sure.
I'm going that way anyway.
I'll walk you down.
So I started talking to her as we were walking.
And I told her, I was like, this has got to be kind of chaotic for you guys because you're manning the doors.
You've got a whole bunch of us who are new here and trying to find our way around.
And she's like, oh, no, no.
we like you guys because you're still nice to us.
And I said, what do you mean?
I asked, I was like, what are you talking about?
She said, mark my words, in about six months, maybe only half of you will still be nice to us.
Never forgot that conversation.
A few years later, you know, where my office was, you end up seeing, you know, you have the same Capitol Police guys who are stationed at that specific post.
