I voted yesterday!

C and I were at the church at 5:55 and there were about 75 people ahead of us. Then the "officials" came out and decided the line was forming the wrong way - of course it was since they didn't have any ropes or things to mark off which way to line up. So they start moving people AT THE BACK OF THE LINE first. By this time there were about 100 people in line.

At 6:15 I called work and we were fine coverage wise. At 7:15, with about 40 people ahead of me I checked again and we were fine, at 7:25 I sent my boss a text (and then had to turn off my phone) and the minute I turned the phone back on I got a text back from her saying and I quote "Can't help that we have 2 b covered". What really pissed me off about that was that she had stopped to vote. And I wasn't one of these who was going to come in moaning that I needed to get off early to vote. No, the polls opened at 7 and I had to be to work at 7:30 if I had gotten there 1/2 hour earlier, I would have been fine and with 40 people ahead of me I wasn't going to get out of line because D thought we needed coverage. I was done at 7:53 and clocked in at 7:59.

Then there is something else that is getting to me today. Remember the "consultant" dude, well he goes around with a blue tooth sticking out of his ear ( which really doesn't look professional). So now the assn't director, K, has one..and was going around taking numbers while talking on it! And the powers that be really don't even like to see us with a cell phone, let alone a blue tooth. A lot of people have said that she is a big fake - she goes around ( since she made ass't director) with her sunglasses on top of her head - like the boss does - and she makes her K's when she initials things look like D's, the way the boss makes hers. She acts one way when certain people are around and then a completely different way other times. I understand that to a certain extent everyone does that but it is getting out of hand. Wish I had the guts to wear my blue tooth......... I am sure someone here will :)
