It's going to be a long day tomorrow - my first 2 troubleshooting calls already.

Four years ago, I was in the county boiler room. Tomorow I'm an observer at the county Board of Elections & one of two people who interface between the boiler room and the Board of Elections to resolve issues within the county.

I've got my cell phone with data (first time in forever), a brand-spanking-new wi-fi hot spot (so I can update the trouble-shooting database using something with an actual keyboard, and two calls under my belt before I'm on duty tomorrow.

My spouse and sister-in-law are polling place observers for the first time. I have a feeling they're going to skip the boiler room and call me directly, since that's the source of the two inquiries I just answered.

I haven't decided whether to bother becoming a star member to get access here tomorrow - since my day starts at 5:30 AM and won't be over until the last vote in the county is finalized - in the wee hours of the morning. Things will likely have died off here by then - or I may just be too tired to check in.

Have fun tomorrow! As you're celebrating, remember those of us still on duty making sure everyone plays by the rules until the last vote is counted.
