I have a bottle of fancy cider I keep forgetting to drink. I think I'll save it for election night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am down for an election anxiety group hug. Every day I play the 270 Game, adding up the numbers. I can't see how she could lose unless she loses every swing state, and that doesn't seem likely at all. But I'm still nervous. I couldn't believe GWB would win either, either time.
Thanks for the job~ma. -t does have a point. As does my co-worker who pointed out that there are two guys in our department who've been here 17+ years and are still Associates, having never been promoted; if anyone's going to be let go, logically it'd be them. (Not that I want that to happen to them. It's more like, I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you.)

high voter turnout makes it easier to say "mandate" in January
I've seen so many posts about feminism and man-splaining that I saw "mandate" as "man-date", and I was trying to figure out how dating was tied into the election, and when we started gender-specifying dates.

A useful tip - in one week, if someone you don't know well asks you what you think of the election results, a safe response is, "I'm so glad it's over."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
tommy, consider yourself hugged ... meanwhile, try this.
Awww.

OK, that's probably better than the response I was thinking of: "I welcome the cleansing fire that will purge this country of its madness."

Or maybe this quote from Hector in Westworld:

ION, I just noticed that my windows do not have curtain rods. I have blinds, but I have no place to put curtains. From what I've seen of the light coming out of my neighbors' places, none of the apartments have curtains. The place was built in the mid-90s. Is this an interior design trend or somewhere the builders/owners cut corners? (Thought it's certainly made some decorating decisions easy)

Are the windows cut in enough that you could put up tension rods (if you wanted to)?
