Primaries are over! Words cannot express my delight in just saying this simple phrase. Months of work culminated into one evening. Egos were pretty even keeled for the most part which for my coworker and I was a big concern. The evening went like this…
6:45 Steakout is delivered for those that told me they would be here the entire night
7:15 A few other employees come by with plans to take part in the “war room” – Pizza Hut is ordered
7:45 Pizza Hut arrives – My boss has me come out with him in case he needs help. (There are only 2 boxes of pizza and one box of chicken wings.) I’m still trying to figure this one out.
8:00 Scattered votes are starting to be called in on the three phones we have set up for people all across the state to call in county totals. TV and internet results are being pulled off immediately. A new computer is set up so we have one for internet access and one for spreadsheets. #1 boss eats 3 pcs of pizza and peanuts in addition to Steak out dinner of filet mignon, baked potatoe, roll, and salad.
9:00 Another pc of pizza is eaten as he sits doing nothing and four others do the work.
10:00 Final totals start to come in one by one. Most of the group of employees that came by to watch and talk leave. The core group stays put.
11:00 Calls start to dwindle, we know those we have won and lost – we did considerably well I must say. Everyone seems pleased. Fatigue starts to settle in on the group.
11:30 “Girls, you look like you need to head on home to go to bed. Why don’t you pack up and go home?” Said to both a 58 and 29 yr old lady. (Pet Peeve) Syd and I head home as the guys left start to clean up. They have to be the last ones here at work apparently.
12:30 Shut eye.
All in all, I worked 15 hours yesterday alone. I have 8.5 hours of overtime for this week’s time which will look great overall. My emotions seemed to go all over the map yesterday with one of my bosses. He barked at me in the morning and it just seemed to go down hill from there. He was pleasant most of the day, things just aggravated me beyond normal.
Today I will work on a board report which will end up taking a few days to compile with changes. Everyone came in later today except for myself and one of the Governmental guys. I’ll work a full day today and I’m sure I will crash tonight. Choir will not be attended tonight as I need some down time. You know you look bad when the cafeteria worker notices how tired you look. 
I’ve been indoctrinated into the world of politics this week. I can’t say that I like politics but it was nice to see things come to fruition that you’ve been working on for so long. We now have a few in run offs and then we are on to the General Election in November. We’ll start working on that in August.Â
I hope I haven’t rambled and I hope this all makes sense and gives you a glimpse into my world this week. I just have to stay awaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkke nooooooooooooooooow…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
