So this is a late blog, but my birthday was ELECTION DAY! Exciting, right? I worked on my birthday. I worked at the ELECTION polls! Let me just say, presidential elections are THE craziest and they bring out the CRAZIEST people too. I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this past election. For one, I worked in my hometown and I live in a small town. People were dying to see Romney win and I must say their enthusiasm was hilarious for me to watch.
First off...I was keeping my birthday a secret from the workers at the poll. I like them and all, but I'd rather not be embarrassed with the singing of happy birthday. I think that song is horribly embarrassing. Last year for my birthday, I went to Ruby Tuesday's with some friends after a Friday night football game. My friends decided they wanted to tell our waiter it was my birthday and he decided to sing...like REALLY sing. I had to smile to keep from laughing in his face. Anyway, mom brought me lunch and ruined the birthday secret.
My day only got better when the people coming to vote started flipping out! Like one guy had an old voting card, one from before the '08 presidential election. The voting precincts have changed drastically since that election and NEW cards were sent out. Still, he brought the old one. Needless to say...his precinct had changed. He would've known if he looked at the new voting card. However, he shoved the old card in our faces insisting this was his voting place cause "it said so on the card." We told him like 50 times that he had an old card and the precincts had changed. Once he got that through his thick skull, he rudely asked where he was supposed to go then. We proceeded to tell him and he rudely yelled 'THAT'S TOO FAR! I'M NOT VOTING!' He threw his hands up and walked out the door. We all looked at each other utterly confused.
So birthday or election...November 6th was an overall crazy day.
