&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9:00 AM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Catch up on the latest national news by reading the Hill and scanning the Washington Post, New York Times, and the CNN website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9:30 AM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Draft a form letter in response to a question on the President&#39;s proposed tax cuts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10:00 AM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Log the newest stack of correspondence to arrive in the morning mail drop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11:00 AM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Research issues related to proposed changes in the new education reform bill being pushed by the party&#39;s leadership.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12:00 PM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Three hours in the office, and you are ready for some fresh air. Slip out for a quick bite to eat from one of the many carry out restaurants on Pennsylvania Avenue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12:45 PM:&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;Make the revisions the Legislative Director indicated on the draft form letter you submitted for his review this morning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1:00 PM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Take a call from a constituent on a small business issue. Log the constituent&#39;s name into the computer database and indicate the action taken to satisfy the constituent&#39;s inquiry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1:15 PM:&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;Draft additional correspondence on behalf of the Member on a range of issues percolating before Congress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3:00 PM:&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;Attend an all staff meeting called by the Chief of Staff to discuss changes in office policy to improve the response time to constituents. As a result, you must now process even more requests during the course of your busy day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4:00 PM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Talk with one of the Legislative Assistants to get a briefing on the Members position on changes to the Social Security system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4:30 PM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Return some of the messages that have been piling up on your desk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5:00 PM:&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Head home after yet another busy day.&lt;/p&gt;
