A week with the Elections Board
Okay, so it was just three days, but it sure felt like a week. I missed working the primary due to tax season (and being in Dayton because of that) so I'd forgotten how much work it is to open all the envelopes, separate the ballot and privacy sleeve from the envelope, and make sure that we don't screw up the count, since we're doing all this in batches of 25. Before that, of course, we have to match the (unopened) envelopes with the list of voters in each precinct. Thirsty and wearisome work. Every day this week I've gotten home around 1730 and been tired enough to go directly to bed, but since I've had stuff to do like fix dinner and blog, I haven't done that.
Had the day off thanks to Nevada Day so I did plenty of nothing aside from catching up on blogging; this was helped by being up until 0400 finishing Alliance Unbound, the second in the Cherryh/Fancher Hinder Stars trilogy. I am impressed at how Cherryh continues to excel at knitting together the plot despite having a platoon of POV characters, and at her depiction of the early days of FTL, when huge merchanters like Finity's End are just starting to replace the converted pushers and early purpose-built merchanters that knit the Hinder Stars, Pell, Cyteen, and the various stations together.
Looks like we're going to start drafting in Pete's Dynasty League pretty soon. I have to consider how many players I'll be keeping for 1973 and who I can pick up from the Yankees, Day Traders, and other teams that made the playoffs.
Tomorrow it's time to head down to the post office and see what all these packages are; also going to mail out some checks to various politicians I want to see win.
