Today was election day, and I made my way to the polls just before lunch time taking the Method Road city bus. I was in and out of there in less than five minutes.
In a complete coincidence, the person staffing the L-O line, in which I queued up, was the same person who did all the HR work when hiring me in my new job at NCSU. She retired at the end of September, so I basically “knew” her for two weeks.
Still, my body rhythm is not back on track, and I went to bed at 9:30. I woke up at 12:30AM, and I thought, “Hmmm. I wonder how the elections turned out.”
Needless to say, the headlines put a big smile on my face.
The news on this page was not so heartening. Oh well. I’m not a fan of the institution anyway, but honestly people, what are you so afraid of?
Overall, though, I’m just glad that the fat lady has sung.
