So I voted this morning after getting to the firehouse across the street at 7am and waiting in line for 45 minutes- outside. When I actually got into the voting suitcase on legs, I was finished before everyone else in the other booths and the girl that was behind me (the next in line to vote) took my booth. Come on people! How hard is it to vote? the very end votes were all cook county circuit court judges and all you had to do was pick yes or no. they didn't even tell you if they were republican or democrat. so just vote yes! what is there to think about? maybe their name is too ethnic or something and the crazies have to consider each one for 5 minutes. The votes that matter are all on the first two pages, and if you still can't figure it out by the time you are in line, then don't vote!
another thing that irritates the crap out of me is all those people standing in the way as you are trying to get in and out of the El stations with their Kerry/edwards stickers shoving them in your face. I don't need a sticker to help me figure out who I am voting for, and I'm sure as hell not going to wear someones name on my jacket. In case you couldn't tell people, both of our options for president suck ass, so I voted to stick with the one that sucks now instead of having some other guy screw everything up in a completely different way. I would've voted for Nader if I could (can you write in a vote for President? I didnt look at that closely.)! At least he has intelligence, which is something that is severely lacking in our government leaders these days.
I'm really nervous about this phone call interview I'm supposed to be getting from QTSI this week. I really want to get this job. It would be exactly the kind of seismology that I want to work on. I need to work on my confidence level this week, unfortunately, I am always too hard on myself and I think that anything that starts going good for me will end up not working out. I was feeling that way last night and then my brain starts working overtime until I think the worst of things. I've got to get out of that mindset today! Let's hope I have a good one!
