Um...can I have my life back on Wednesday?
My internal stress clock will continue to sound the alarm at 9:30 am (Ras time), 1:00 pm (Gallup time), and 5:00 pm (ABC time) for a while no doubt.

1. I am sitting here reading posts and tears are running down my cheeks.
I know what you mean. A couple more days.

7. Honestly, I wouldn't trade this time - right here, right now - for anything.

We are participating in history, uppityperson...

I'm so proud of this country -- for what I know we're about to do. Embrace it. :patriot:

16. Me too. I am taking Wed off work, don't think I could work then.
I was young back in 60's, but this reminds me a lot of what it was like then. The lies, manipulations, deceits, overt hatred. This is something. And love. People struggling together for positive change, beyond the hatred.

25. I have an all day Operating Budget Hearing on Wednesday!
I work for the county legislature and they are voting on the operating budget on Wednesday. As you might imagine, we've had better years economically and this should be a long not too cheerful day. Except if Obama wins, that will make it much easier and if McCain wins, I might not live through it.

4. No, that's when the real work starts.
Tired? Sit down for 5 minutes then get back up.

5. I can't wait to have my life back on Wednesday
I've been paying so much attention to this election I've become a bloody nervous wreck. I won't be resting easy and able to concentrate on much of anything else until the minute McCain concedes.

6. Yes, but you will still be required to keep voting in that PBS Poll...
...you know, just to keep them on their toes.

13. You get your life back but only until January 20, 2009.
Then the real work of undoing all the harm of the last 8 years begins.
I can hardly wait.

15. No. The rightwing campaign to portray Obama as an illegitimate president, to subvert the federal
government, and to impeach Obama will begin on Wednesday.
