AHHHHHHHHHH! Where did the year go!?

Do you realize that Thanksgiving is, oh, next week? Seriously, go look at a calendar. Not only is it on NOVEMBER (at least it should be), but it's also over half way through. The only person I've bought Christmas presents for is my niece (who will once again be spoiled), and I haven't even begun to think about cards.

In other news, my coworkers and I had to have an intervention for our manager. We are stretched thin, and she has come up with every excuse in the book to avoid hiring someone. So, on Sunday, a coworker of mine wrote a letter, I proofread it, and all of us (except for a very part time employee who was out of town) signed it. We put it with the morning paperwork last night, so it should have been read by now. If things go well, we will have someone (or hopefully someones) new. If things go bad, well, I can always find a job somewhere else. Either way, I will find out today when I go into work. So, um, wish me luck.

There's more, of course, but it will have to be revealed later.

Take care,
Jeremy

PS: The new Bond movie is amazing. The only thing missing was a villain...

You have no idea how glad I am that this election season is finally over. It is the first time, at least as far as I can remember, where the political parties were more venomous than the actual candidates themselves. Well, as far as the presidential election goes. The governor's race is a whole 'nother bag of chips...
Yes, once again, I will be working the election as a poll worker. I honestly doubt that there will be the relaxed atmosphere that prevailed over the primary. I also expect it to be a mad house. I am still planning on bringing the entire Chronicles of Narnia with me, just in case. While my earlier optimism of being able to read them all in one day is completely gone, I do expect to get through more than half the books. I'm also planning on bringing an energy drink and food with me this time.
In other news, I didn't do anything on Halloween night. I was way too tired after work, and I had to open the next morning. That, and all the political talk in the air and on the airwaves, killed the mood.
Not much else is new. Well, no, I take that back. I got some big news on the 28th, but I am refraining from telling until around Thanksgiving.
Anyway, that's it for now. I hope to post again soon.
Take care,
Jeremy
