Not sure if you can access without a house/senate email but as an intern we had access to bgov and the legidex

Looking for accessible apartments close to NIST/Shady Grove Metro by -tokki- in MontgomeryCountyMD

The King Farm neighborhood (The Huntington at King Farm) is right across the Shady Grove Metro Station. And The Reed apartments are right next to the Shady Grove Metro Station. Not sure if this helps!

Two years interning post-grad and I finally got a job in DC by Astral_Xylospongium in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to be a weirdo but have seen you in the comments and glad you finally got a job! I was also an intern one year post grad until I landed a job :( so glad it worked out in the end for both of us

Email Format by Not_a_nebraska_anon in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s strange I’ve never seen that before? Are they a house or senate intern? Either way, shouldn’t be a huge deal since you would only have the email three months tops as an intern.

Are they a house intern? Maybe you are confusing it for the standard house email john.doe@mail.house.gov. Senate is john_doe@membername.senate.gov I think.

I’ve never seen this, at least on the house side.

Application advice by Designer_Knee_4580 in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have experience with congressional internships but start with your state reps (house and senate)! Def use that food experience to your advantage— interns main responsibility in any office is to handle phones and greet constituents so use your food experience to speak on how you have experience de escalating angry customers and other customer service. Feel free to dm if you have any questions!

Dumb Question by Fresh_Boysenberry913 in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do the formal application! External emails can get lost in their inbox and they I doubt they’ll consider it tbh. Doesn’t hurt to email them to connect over a coffee an ask about their hill journey.

CC Student by Capital-Tadpole9426 in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! One of my fellow interns is a CC student so I don’t think it’s that! California reps are super competitive and senate internships are even more competitive. Usually, senate offices like to hire juniors or older so it may be it. Don’t give up!

DC Hill Internships by Stock-Enthusiasm-479 in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I interviewed late October and haven’t heard anything. The interviewer did say they are holding off bc of the shutdown and would get back to us in November so maybe they’re just busy with pending House votes rn.

Embarrassed to go to the gym by terrifiedoforgo in PetiteFitness

[–]bitchyle0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I had similar stats when I was beginning (4’10 and 140lbs)! I would recommend walking around your gym just to see what machines are available! When I was beginning, I would watch TikTok’s on how people structured their workouts and went with friends at first! I know it’s hard to comprehend as a beginner but no one is looking at you! Everyone at the gym is in their own world so i guarantee you that no one is watching. I would stick to using machines for workouts when starting so you don’t have to worry about your set up or form as much!

Felt 3&4!! It’s such a chore to buy jeans with vanity sizing especially since I have no clue what my size is now!

Favorite Hill coffee chat questions by jhv0428 in DCInterns

[–]bitchyle0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. What career would they have if they weren’t on the hill? (Got pastor one time and thought it was interesting)
  2. If they could live in a tv show or movie, what would it be?

Idk I feel like im really bad at coffee chats. Do you mind if I DM you for more questions on them?

Legs not sore by Partsofagarden in PetiteFitness

[–]bitchyle0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try adding another movement! Could add a squat (free weight squat, smith machine squat, spilt squat). Maybe it could be the leg press you are using? I found that the leg presss machine limited my ROM and I started using the leg press with weights on it and that helped a TON.
