1. HELL NO
I work with fundies. I need to see them suffer.

Sadistic? You bet your ass. I can't wait to feast on their sorrow.

3. One of my favorite memories?
Waltzing into work the day after Bill Clinton and Al Gore were elected in 1992.

I sang "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" at the top of my lungs while coworkers rolled their eyes. ;-)

13. May I make a suggestion as to where to eat your celebratory dinner? Up the road apiece, to the
Chateau Eza, in Eze.
If possible, outside, with Cannes in the slight distance.

And then partying like it's 1-20-09!!!

36. I have my time turned in already...I am so excited about this..
I will be at the polls at 7 in the morning.. not as a pollworker, but just to be with all my neighbors as we smoosh together with our cups of coffee,standing in line, catching up with each other about family matters and celebrating being able to vote for Barack Obama. My party starts early :hi:

34. No, but just because it's my normal day off.
Good thing, too. I work at a paper, so I'll be there until the early hours of the morning. In 2004, we went home at 3:30 a.m.

35. I requested off Nov 4 and 5
Request was approved :-) The 4th so I can volunteer somewhere, somehow on that day...and then on the 5th so I don't have to worry about getting to bed as the election results roll in the night of the 4th.


Well, ok, another reason for taking the 5th off...I plan on writing PRESIDENT OBAMA my car windows with the brightest shoe polish I can find and go drive around the reddest most repuke part of my city/county.

Much like I did in Nov 2006 when we took back Congress..except then I put on the windows "lame duck president". Ooooh, the horn honking and dirty looks I got THEN will probably not even compare to this time around.

41. I can't decide. I mean, I will either be celebrating like mad or making plans to move
to New Zealand. It would be fun to celebrate with all my coworkers (and gloat in the face of my Republican boss). Conversely, work might keep me occupied if things go horribly wrong. Or not, it may just make me want to slit my wrists even more.

It may be a game-time decision, a last minute "flu" or something. :)

44. I'm going to have to take the 4th and 5th off
I'd be no good at work anyway. Way the hell too nervous on the 4th, and completely non-productive. Way too hell too happy (or heaven forbid - sad) on the 5th.

I'll be working with GOTV on the 4th and will be COMPLETELY hung over on the 5th (hell, EITHER way this thing goes, but the champagne will obviously taste sweeter in victory). I can't WAIT! :)

And I'm ordering my satellite TV upgrade to be through November so that I can watch the idiots on Fox News react to Obama's victory. Should be great fun.

I can't wait to see the Repugs faces when we win.
Should we lose, I won't go to work. I think I'm throwing in the towel on a lot of things.
