i'm proudly sporting my "i voted" sticker today, but it occurs to me that they really need to redesign these stickers. they're aren't even what i'd consider retro or retro-fly, more along the lines of ... well ... ugly. it took about 1.5 hours from start to finish (& that was with me actually using a table with 7 other people, rather than waiting for a pollbooth). during the 2000 election, i went to the polls at approximately the same time, but it only took 20 minutes start to finish. you won't hear me complaining, though. i'd rather wait if it means more people are getting off their butts to vote. i ended up spending the majority of my time talking with a pregnant lady who is due to deliver on december 23rd. she was nice but she offered plenty of stories on pregnancy to keep my biological clock at bay for now.
some of my friends are having a poll party tonight, offering drinks according to your party lines. red for republicans, blue for democrats, clear for unaffiliateds, green for the green party. that still bodes the question about what color libertarian libations might be, though. i think i'm going to skip the party. i am seriously burnt out on election related media right now that i can't see straight. the world will continue to revolve no matter who is elected.
on a completely unrelated note, i got an email from a friend & ex that i haven't heard from in approximately two years. i have a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach when that happens, something between irritation & gloating. i think that's not healthy. i also think it's a contributing factor to my trust & vulnerability issues now. i'm making no sense.
suffice it to say, i must return to my work. i had 73 emails to filter through from being out on friday & monday, but i do have fabulous weekend of memories & a fancy scandalous red coffetable to show for my efforts. i think i'll take those as veto over 73 emails & piles of work any day.

and surgey, i'm always glad for you to stop by by small lot on the 'net. glad i got to catch up with you a bit last night.
I hope you had a happy birthday. With my pending big 30th coming up faster (in 5 months)than I wish it was, I totally understand from where you are coming. Always go for play time over the impending doom of never ending piles of work, for whether you get to them on that day or two days later....they will be there regardless.
