Conflicted thoughts on the US elections

1) I bet we're all going to be horribly disappointed when he doesn't solve world peace, world hunger, the oil problems, etc. overnight
2) Yay! Woo! YES!!!!! *punches the air*
3) I got up at 6:30 to go to the toilet, checked the news on my laptop in the living room (to avoid waking Julie) and was then so excited it took me 45 minutes to get back to sleep.

Sorry, but you get up at 6:30 and you can still go back to sleep again?!

I'm getting ready for work at that time...

Aaah, the joys of flexitime. I frequently work 10:00-5:30, with a half hour lunch - and I like a 20 minuet journey from work...

I too have flexi time.
Unfortunately at the moment this means the flexibility to work from 09:00 to 18:30 on a good day and 09:00 to whenever on a bad day.

At least I still get paid overtime, unlike most of my colleagues

Wow, that truly sucks. I hope this is a short-term situation.

yeah, end of project push.
That said short term = past 2 months and probably the next month.

Being an insomnia monkey I saw most of it live.
The desperate looks on the faces of the pro-republicans as the landslide went on was quite funny - it's as if they actually thought they had a chance.
Good luck to him though, with all the problems the US has at the moment he'll have to do great to get a second term.
