choco_frosh(Wow, I'm posting a lot today)
Sor. just texted me to make sure I had voted/a plan for voting, which was super sweet of them!
So before anyone else asks, let me reassure you that:
... Yes, I voted already: Belmont has a drop box at the town hall, and the roommies put our ballots in a few weeks ago.
... No, fortunately/unfortunately, I am not working the polls today. Somerville never got back to me after I sent in my application. I heard later (from other bellringers who'd had the same idea) that apparently everyone heard that places were potentially going to be short of poll workers this year and deluged the municipal offices in question with applications.
... Yes, I care deeply about this election (in case you couldn't tell!), but I am NOT going to be staying up late watching the results. In fact, I am probably going to spend my time after dinner putting in a couple of extra hours "at the office". This is because I do not expect to have any sort of meaningful election results until Wednesday at the earliest.
If I am *wrong* about this, please DO text me, at whatever hour of the night, if I need to get up and celebrate/make plans to be at a protest all day/buy a gun. Or if you urgently need emotional support. But otherwise, I am going to try to avoid looking at election-related stuff or social media today, and to get to sleep at a normal hour. If that requires prayer and/or chugging a beer at some odd hour of the night, then so be it.
