Election Day tomorrow for those in the U.S. If you haven't voted yet, be sure to do so. I'm going after work to vote.
I still am getting over the fact that my polling place is in someone's garage.
You see, in California, you can make a little extra money by hosting a polling place. All you do is provide the space; they provide the staff and the supplies. I was nervous about going to cast a vote in someone's garage until I researched the law and the process. It's all strictly above-board. The whole thing is tightly monitored and is as kosher as a Hebrew National hot dog.
Seriously, Hebrew Nationals are the bomb of hot dogs. So for me to say that means I do trust this voting process, at least in this garage. I don't know about the rest of the country, but I feel I can trust this. But still, the fact that I'm deciding the fate of the country's government in a garage is still a bit of a mind trip.
There's not a lot of political talk at work. For most of my coworkers, I can't tell who is going to vote for which candidate. I also have not disclosed my choice; if asked, I reply that I haven't decided yet. And to be honest, until I cast that vote, I can change my mind. Overall, this lack of political discussion isn't a bad thing, as it means there's not a lot of political tension among us.
