Shadowing Day

Today I went out to city hall for shadowing day. I first thought that it was going to suck because it seemed like I would be running errands for some loser who works in a cubicle. I turned out to be wrong. The guy that I followed around was pretty cool. I really didn't learn alot but one thing that I learned was the phone number 3-1-1. 3-1-1 is the number that you call if you want a service done in your community that is not an emergency. An example of this would be if there were a pothole on your street, you could call 3-1-1 and you can tell them about it and they will come and fix it. Also, if you have questions about how the government is run, you can call them and they will have the internet on standby, and as you ask the question, they will type it in, and you will get a real honest answer
