I'd like to see the Cubs win, and not just because the Indians are the Reds' in-state rivals. (Although my dad told me last night that we have to root for the Indians because they're an Ohio team and "rivalries don't matter in the postseason." I told him that was crazy talk and called him a hippie. He laughed.)

Job~ma, Zen. Even if your position isn't at risk, it still makes for a tense work environment.
Much job~ma Zen.

I generally root City>Division>League if my own team is out of it and everything else is equal (though I don't think I could ever root for the Detroit Lions, just because the years with Jim Schwartz as coach and Suh on defense permanently soured me on the team) but I've never cared for the whole "rivalry" thing. I like my team, other people like their teams. Why should I hate them and try to make them feel bad if they lose?
I pulled for the White Sox in 2005 despite being a diehard Cub fan for as long as I can remember. (That being said, the number of White Sox fans I've met who are ridiculously spiteful when it comes to the Cubs makes me feel a bit of satisfaction whenever the Cubs are playing better than the Sox.)
The sad thing is I'd be pulling for the Indians this year if they were playing anyone else.
Lots of job~ma, Zen. No one needs that kind of stress.
Why is time slow today? It should be at least noon by now!

Don't stop at noon, I want it to be next Wednesday already. So over this election.

Good things~ma, hippocampus!
Mostly I want to see good baseball, but if I have a choice I say Cubs.
I know there is more, but I am not braining.
OMG, there is a baby photo shoot at my office today and it's the best thing ever! Everyone is adorable!
Seriously, the only way I'm not constantly nauseated is by keeping the election far, far back in my head.
Baby photo shoot sounds adorable.
I am already looking forward to Thanksgiving (though I guess I'm out of town and taking a 4 day weekend after the election, but that'll be busier--thanksgiving I have zero plans but vegging)

Okay, next thing you're going to tell us is that someone brought puppies for the babies to play with and you all got to snuggle the puppies.
