It is so disconcerting to hear the young people I work with. I don't think any of them voted. I am giving out lectures for free today.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

For decades my father worked the elections in my home town.
It's a college town in a liberal state, and they always had trouble filling the state mandated number of Republican election officials in the precincts. By a standing agreement, one of every four Democratic volunteers had to agree to be a Republican for the day. If you lost the lottery you were a Republican that year. Once chosen as Republicans, they took it seriously, following the directions of the Republican supervisors.
I asked my father last night if he was working the elections today and he said "No, I'm not. I'm 90 years old and I'm just not willing to spend any of my few remaining days as a Republican!"

I'm thinking of making meatloaf. Will ground turkey produce less liquid fat than ground beef?

Our wings are not tired.
I'm 90 years old and I'm just not willing to spend any of my few remaining days as a Republican!
I love that!

So I just realized that that one guy from Death Comes to Pemberley is that one guy from The Good Wife! (I did recognize that one guy from The Americans, and the awesome woman from Bletchley Circle...)
It's a great cast. I wish the show was better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I asked my father last night if he was working the elections today and he said "No, I'm not. I'm 90 years old and I'm just not willing to spend any of my few remaining days as a Republican!"
Ha! My father had a story about working a poll in Chicago when he was in college, and when someone brought up a Republican primary ballot, they assumed it was an error and threw it away!
Will ground turkey produce less liquid fat than ground beef?
Yep.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whew, our managers are stepping in and paying for the pizza. Tomorrow's lunch is saved!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My polling place is the neighborhood rec center (which is also my gym). The sign as you walk in informed everyone that voting was in the multipurpose room, line dancing was in the front gym, adult basketball was in the back gym, and clay handbuilding was cancelled for today because voting needed that room.
I kind of love that. It feels a little like Mayberry.

Also, Polgara, I'm going on a field trip to the Getty tomorrow.
Only just saw this, Kat--good thing you texted me!

LOVE.
I'm all voted up, got my sticker and everything. And I got to spend my morning with Kat, so it's been a pretty good day so far.

I got to use one of my favorite lines at work today! Two different people apologized to me for swearing, so to the second I said, "What, because I'm such a fucking lady??" Hee.
