I really mean that. I work with the three highest administrators in public education. Their schedule revolves around the Governor and the Delaware State Legislature. If there wasn't much going on, there wasn't much to do. There were days though that seemed to last forever.
Government can be as slow as many think it is.
Both jobs required me to have an outgoing personality, wear a mask if you will. Working for the Department of Education was not much different. I had to put on a number of hats and this allowed me to interact with a number of interest groups and representatives from all levels of government.
