I can't work!

[quesarah]

This morning I was absolutely wide awake as soon as the alarm sounded. The realization that "today's election day" propelled me out of bed. I got ready for work quickly and bounded out the door to hit the polls. My usual scheme is to go to the polling station, located in the lobby of a local nursing home, before work. It's never crowded and I always get in and out in no time.

There was a line this morning. There was a line when I got there at 6:55 (polls open at 7) and a line for the entire half hour it took me to vote. And the line kept getting longer...

Roomie told me that the Wit's End is having an Election Day event; I think you bring your voter receipt and get a discount. I imagine Neal will have the news of election returns playing on the tv. God help me, I'm really tempted to go and watch. I couldn't sit home and watch the returns, but to sit in the company of like-minded individuals seems comforting. And I don't know that I can simply go to bed and wait until Wednesday morning. The results of this election seem of paramount importance, both for domestic policy and for foreign policy. How can I be blase? How can I work?

Okay. Need distraction.

Oh jeez. And I have to work on my stupid paper. My literature review will end up with random sentences about how evil GWB and his gang are, how I'll go insane if they win, yadda, yadda, yadda.

lol. Somehow I don't think Nola would like that, even though she might agree.

I think I'm gonna go tonight. I'm too jittery to stay at home, I think I'd pace and rant all night.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Cool. It'll be good.

And is that Lauren Bacall in your icon? Grrrr.

[wafflelips.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. Jealous?

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Not jealous, just thinking ::nummmmy:::

Hmm... I have spin class until 7:00pm, but if you're there after 7:30 (I will need a post-workout shower!) I may join you.

See you then! I'll save you a seat.

and I don't know that I can simply go to bed and wait until Wednesday morning.. I surely hope and wish and hope that we know Wednesday morning; I do, I do, I do.

It's been happening all over lj; it's not just you.
