Can I vote to not be in back-to-back meetings today?

I’m sure you, like the rest of the world who would rather amputate their left ass cheek than vote for John McCain, got the e-mail to take off Election Day for Barack Obama.

And I just wanted to reply, honey, I am not able to take off for God Himself. Further, if I was taking the day off for a man who’s not hard to look at, canvassing wouldn’t exactly be the way I’d spend it!

One of my Twitterfriends tweeted last night that if we vote now, can we stop hearing political ads? I think that’s a grand idea, especially considering that I have no idea when I’ll be able to vote on Nov. 4. Why aren’t the polls open at 10 p.m. when our shifts are finally over?

Actually, I did make a voluntary promise to my boss that I would neither take a vacation day, use a sick day nor, well, die anytime in the next few months. But I never said ANYTHING about not quitting. 😉

Just kidding. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love lamp. I love … somebody hand me some wine, OK? So what if it’s only 6 a.m.?

    By law, your employer must let you leave the office long enough to vote. Just saying.

    I’m voting by mail, but Tiff’s right. You damn well better get your ass to the booth if you aren’t mail balloting!
