Yoga and Sean

Before he moved to Washington, Sean left us his card for his schoolhouse yoga classes. Haydee, Julie and I just got back from our third class. Sure makes the old back feel better.

Sean is living in Silver Spring, MD, and working at the US Department of Transportation as a Presidential Management Fellow. It is a really nice program. They pay real salaries plus a lot of student loans. After a while he may be able to rotate to different departments. The Fellowships are competitive for graduate students across the nation. It is a really good way to recruit new federal employees, even if it is only for a few years. It also provides a network for the new people coming in as well. In fact, almost every time I talk to him, the phrase "I was at a party last night when..." works its way into the conversation. It not only sounds like a good program to recruit new workers, but it sounds like fun for the employees too. Did our federal government learn something from the dot.com employers?
