ELECTIONS ARE TOMORROW... PLEASE VOTE!
Tomorrow I will be at the polls as an election official for my county. I will get there at 5:00am and I'm not allowed to leave the building until results are sent in and all the paper work is completed. That usually keeps us there until around 8:00pm. That makes for a long day. Especially if you live in a small town like I do and only 25 voters show up. Usually we have half the town show up on a national election. Next November it will be very busy! So what do I do all day? Our last election day was last June for the Republican Primary. I knitted and completed a whole purse. I also take a cross word puzzle along to work. But the most important thing we do, is eat! We all bring a main dish and most of us bring dessert. I'm making lazagna and probably chocolate chip cookies. ...Yum!! It makes sitting there all day bearable.

the eating part sounds like fun :) i imagine "election day duties" are not so festive here as it is compulsory to vote so the polling booths are busy all day long!

Only 25 voters. I can't even imagine that. I usually have to wait in a line for a few hours just to vote their are so many people. I guess that is what you get when you live in a large city. Good luck entertaining yourself.
