Rumors of my demise have been slightly exagerated. I am employed through Feb. 2, with the option to move back to North Carolina after that date. Please keep the scoops coming. #ncpol

Massie and Khanna blast the partial release, say it "fails to comply with the spirit and the letter of the law"

#POTS problems: I take a prescription that only one pharmacy in the country makes and takes a lot of time. It’s lost in the mail. Literally circled Northern Virginia’s post offices and no one knows where it ended up. These are adult problems no one teaches you how to handle.

I wasn't listening when customer service asked what type of music I wanted to listen to for a 10 minute hold. I have regret cause now I'm listening to endless ads instead.
