4:20am - alarm goes off
4:20am - actually get up instead of hitting snooze several times
4:55am - leave house
4:56am - stop at 7-11 for coffee
5:25am - arrive at Immaculate Heart of Mary 35 minutes earlier than necessary
6:00am - teacher arrives to let me in and I begin setting up the Polling Booth
7:00am - Polls open
Approx. 25 people show up throughout the day to vote or just drop off their Mail-In Ballot.
8:00pm - Polls close, begin packing up polling equipment, tallying ballots, etc
8:40pm - finish packing up and loading car. Set off for Collection Depot.
8:45pm - pull up behind a car just sitting in the right lane with no indicators but stopped outside the Collection Depot. Figure the idiot was last in line, now I am...last in line, that is, not an idiot. Turn on right indicator then decide it's not enough and engage Emergency/Hazard Lights just so idiots coming up behind me can see I'm not going anywhere.
8:46pm - idiot pulls up behind me with neither Indicator nor Emergency Lights on.
8:47pm - idiot pulls up behind other idiot. Neither is willing to use signals to inform other drivers that they have no intention of going anywhere.
8:55pm - finally enter gate of Collection Depot but still have several cars in front of me, and a lot of idiots behind me. Some idiots who pulled up at the end of the line and sat there before realizing the idiots in front of them weren't going anywhere roar past then blast their horn, as if it's our fault they're an idiot and not paying attention to traffic conditions.
9:05pm - unload polling equipment, receive receipt and we're on our way
9:20pm - drop fellow poll worker at home in downtown LA.
9:40pm - arrive home, and glad to be there. Feed the dog, kiss the wife and sleeping kids and tell them I love them.
10:00pm - fire up WoW and run around a virtual world pretending to be a Gnome Warrior. Kill a Basilisk that knocks me off my mechanical ostrich as I ride past. Kill a few of his Basilisk buddies that looked at me the wrong way, a truly petrifying experience...for someone other than Zerka! The psychotic Gnome Warrior!
12:00am - crawl into bed after deciding I don't want a black Razr V3xx enough to spend $100 on one.
4:20am - hit snooze
4:27am - hit snooze
4:34am - hit snooze, debate not going in to work
4:41am - hit snooze, debate some more
4:48am - hit snooze, Body disobeys Brain's order to get out of bed
4:55am - hit snooze. Brain kicks Body out of bed.
5:20am - pass 7-11. No time for coffee.
5:30am - catch bus, sit two rows behind Mr. Flip-Flops. Wonder if he bathed recently, perhaps when he was up Mog's way.
6:00am - Get off bus. Brain admits that we should have stayed in bed. Body says, too late now. Body spies a Starbucks. Coffee time!!! Body and Brain finally agree on something.

I had a similiar morning yesterday, only my alarm never resounded after the first snooze. I woke up an hour late for work, called the boss man who told me that they didn't need me to come in that day thanks to a new rule that was put in place last week to keep one of the deadbeats I work with on time. Rule says, more than ten minutes late? Don't come in.
I made the most of my Ferris Bueller's day off by sitting on my arse sipping coffee until about noon. Then I changed the channel on ye olde boob tube to one of the movie channels just in time to catch an action packed day of movies such as Platoon, Red Dawn, and Commando. Logged into WOW around 2pm, ran Old Durnholde and scored a nice necklace. Great day overall.
When the crazy days start to get to you, it's time to take a day off.
The thing that really stood out to me in this post was that people dropped off their Mail-in Ballot. Isn't that a little counter productive?
They didnt want to pay the increased 41cents postage i guess. I noticed it too and pointed it out to John. :)
Haha laughing all the way down the page mate. In a sincere feeling sorry for you kind of way I promise.
This reminds me of a post I made about 7 years ago. You'll appreciate coming back to this post in years time.
So, are you done with WOW?
