worked today
I was an election judge at a local ward in my town...youngest person there, by some 20+ years.
Had to be up just after 4 a.m., at the polls by 5 a.m. Worked through until almost 8 p.m. other than a 15 minute break I stole to grab a bite to eat, because my dear Arc brought me food. Of course, by the time I got the chance to go eat the food, the double cheese burger and fries were both cold, but, I felt loved nonetheless.
Being the youngest there, I was the one who set up and took down the touch screen system, and assisted with the optical scanner. I also did the "lugging of heavy items" and the "crawling under the bar to plug in the extension cords" oh and let's not forget, the "crawling INTO the ballot recepticle to get the last of the ballots that the scanner had dumped into the recepticle.
This was a low paying gig, I honestly don't know how much I'll make for it, but any money is better than no money.
Did I vote today? No. I knew without a doubt I wouldn't have time.
I voted by absentee ballot 2 weeks ago, due to being an election judge.
Today the majority of American voters said something definate, "We want change. We can do it. Yes, we can."
I'm fully supportive of President Elect Barack Obama, and wish him and his family safe travels over the next four years.
