thank god for voting poll volunteers, even when they're super crabby
so, i was a good citizen today and voted! yay! i managed to vote in a local primary in febuary, though i probably would have missed out if my roommates didn't wake my sorry ass up from my nap...thanks guys! oh! and thanks for the quick run-down on who is who amongst my choices...its good to vote, preferably as an informed voter!!

anyways, i have to take a moment to give props to those dear mostly senior citizens who are out there at the polls marking their lists of registered voters and checking them twice (literally), the shortage of volunteers have these dear, albiet crabby, little old ladies out from 6 am til 8 pm, and with them kinda of hours, i'd be crabby too!! which is why it was understandable when the comedy of errors unfolded with the two little old ladies who had to take our names...they were all flustered from a very rushed, on-duty madison police officer whose name could not be found (even though she voted at this poll before)...well, then they started to register me and my roommate...but they're suppose to do one at a time because they each have a list to cross off your name...so, lady #1 takes my roommmate's name, then for some reason lady #2 wants my name, before they're done with my roommate...we are both at the same address...so then they get mad at each other when they go to cross of each of our names off and they're talking about different people but don't realize it...i thought these two women were going to come to blows when lady #2 snaps at lady #1 "i SAID i can FIND it! i CAN READ!" *gulp* oh dear!! at this point i had to look away because i was about ready to start laughing at the absurdity of it all. poor old gals!! they need to go home!!

clearly, we need more volunteers!
