Why Tuesday?
Oct. 3rd, 2008 04:14 pmIndeed, why *do* we vote on Tuesday?
And, is anyone else appalled at the notion of being "too busy" to vote? Granted, I live in a state with mail-in ballots that are sent out in advance, so I don't have to wrestle with the horrors of standing in line to pull a lever on a workday, like many others do.
But, on the other hand, it's your right to vote! The system seems to do its best to keep the common man feeling powerless and disenfranchised, but that doesn't mean we have to make it easy for them. Don't take it sitting down.
I'm tired of being sick. Fortunately, it seems to primarily be in my sinuses by this point, although I still sound froggy.
Also: I now have BANGS. As in real ones of the more straight-across variety. Jury's still out as to whether I like them or not--I feel bloat-tastic after 5 days of not working out, eating lazy food, and guzzling even more water than usual--but they're side-sweepable if I decide that I'm not pulling it off. ;p
And, I have discovered that the Marathon is happening this Sunday, on the same day as my plus-size magazine editorial shoot, the latter of which has been scheduled for several weeks. And, in the same tradition as last year, they didn't call us about shooting the Marathon until this week. Did I mention that A) I hate early mornings, and B) race shoots are quite possibly the most repetitive, uninspiring jobs we get?
So, I'll be essentially be getting up at the ass-crack of dawn to shoot the marathon for 6 hours, finishing that with just enough time to grab some lunch and spend another 4 hours on my editorial. This is also editorial that I've spent months planning, and which I cannot slack on, because it's running in their November issue.
I have half a mind to just tell the marathon people to find someone else, but I'm sure Ben wouldn't go for it, since that's paying work. Uuuuugh. Worst timing EVER. Hating. LIFE.
Well, enough whining. There will likely be Rock Band tonight, a free day tomorrow, and sushi tomorrow night. So hey, good times are coming before the not-so-good. :)
