Just Vote No!
Today was a day to make gargoyles weep ... Ok maybe not - but I like the line.
I either overslept this morning or turned the alarm off in my sleep - either way I was an hour late for work. I was feeling really muzzy as I stayed up waaaay too late working on my accounting test. The rat bastard instructor decided to get tricky on us and throw in problems that we would have to actually read and think about - totally unfair!!!
I got to work and settled down to working. We're in the middle of a review right now and I have a ton of stuff to do and still a ton of stuff to catch up on from being gone for a week. MBMOE went off on me and pretty much made me cry (not like out loud sobbing, but my face and eyes got red and my throat got all tight). I think he realized that he'd gone to far as he spent the rest of the day pulling my hair, speaking extra nice, and made me go to lunch with the team at Tokyo Waco.
I didn't want to go to lunch - I still had my test to work on and LOTS of work work - but he insisted (pulled my hair extra hard).
OK - I'm glad I went. I'd never been to a Japanese Hibachi before. They SET THINGS ON FIRE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! And cooked me food. I was in a pyromaniac gastronomic heaven. The dude did get a little annoyed with me as I kept asking him to do the onion volcano over again. Wheeee!
Made it to class early as we all wanted to compare answers on the test and finish what we hadn't already. I have to say that only one or two of my answers were proved wrong by the group (the test hasn't been graded yet, so I won't know what was really right). The 4 problems that I had given up on, I was pleased to see had given equal trouble to others as well. We managed to cobble something together, as the RBI walked by commenting that this was a test not a group project. I think we all pretty much said fuck-you under our breath and continued working.
He didn't press the issue as today was evaluate your teacher day - I almost feel sorry for him. Ok, no I don't. He deserves every crappy remark made. I tried to balance my evaluation out by highlighting his good points - but the bad points totally outnumber everything good I could think of.
I had planned on leaving class around 8pm so I could go vote - but when I told the RBI that, he said that the poles closed at 8pm. He handed me the handout - explained what to do with it and told me to leave. BTW - as one of his good points, I did put down that he was very flexible with schedule conflicts. He totally is - just can't teach worth crap.
Managed to make it to my poling place with EIGHT WHOLE MINUTES to spare!!! Took me all of a minute to vote as I already had my answers marked on my little sample ballot book. I just don't understand people who wait 'till they're in the booth to make up their minds.
So, I kinda have a free night now. I'm in my flannel jammies and am thinking about having another chai latte (I made the chai mix myself - YUM!) and maybe curling up on the couch with the cats and a movie.
Ahhh who am I kidding - I'm playing my new CIV Conquest game!
