Sick Canadians for Obama

I made it almost 2 hours at work before everyone in my department collectively sent me home. They don't want to get sick and I have the luxury, now, of being in a department where if I'm not there it won't harm their work load any. So yay. My job calls for a lot of talking, on the phone and in person, and my voice, although better, sounds like shit and is getting worse the more I talk.

My sinuses are aching a bit today and I'm still snotting all over and my coughing is pretty bad so I totally get why they sent me home. I get 18 sick days a year, apparently, and I've been there since May without taking a single one, not even when I hurt my back so badly I was standing to do my work and crying. THAT'S the difference between the department I was in versus the one I'm in now.

So I have new drugs specifically for my sinuses, I have four new containers of juice (I've had six since Saturday, I'm in the middle of the seventh so that'll be 11 things of juice) and a pizza and a half in the fridge waiting for me (the first time I've been truly hungry in three days, you bet I'm eating something good) so I am prepared for a day's worth of election talk and results.

Still wearing Obama blue!

Election Question!!

I was just watching CNN and saw an anti-Obama ad.

Is this legal? Isn't campaigning over now? I didn't see who the ad was funded by, but like... what?

OMG YAY!

So many reasons to be excited right now!

WINCON IS IN DENVER NEXT YEAR! I can DRIVE there, if I want. 16 hours and I'm there! I'm definitely considering flying, though, of course, but STILL! I can SO make it there on my own! But I'd prefer to go WITH someone, especially if I'm driving. BUT. We will see! If there are any Albertans or Saskatchewan...ites? ians? lurking about, make yourselves known, hmm? But there ARE like- 8 months to plan this out (leaving wiggle room, of course).

ALSO! Election stuff! If you're not like, totally dead from it, and want to have a fun chat about what's happening, as it goes on, vichan is having an AIM chat zomgelection. Come and hang out!
