I could care less about celebrating some Spanish guy sailing across the world to find this place - as far as I'm concerned, I would have been just as happy eating cold potatoes and moaning the British in the mother country - but at least I don't have to work today, teehee.
Actually, I'm grateful for my job, no matter how much I bitch. At least I have one. The economy's going down the proverbial toilet faster than you can say, "Bush is a dickhead." But it'll reverse - it always does. Once we get Obam - er, someone sane - in office, it'll start getting better, though I've always noticed that the Ds seem to be the ones that clean up the Rs' messes, heh. We shall see come November 4th.
I'm a little worried about what'll happen on the 4th, to be honest. If Obama loses... well. I've been hearing disjointed mumblings from the clientele at work about possible... riots. And to be honest, I couldn't blame them - but as a white woman and a minority working in a very tough environment in downtown D.C.... well. I have to look out for my welfare. I'm really scared as to what'll happen. Luckily I'm of the mind that he'll win this election. But... it still crosses my mind now and then.
I've not been feeling too well emotionally recently - I had written a long explanation of why in this post, but I've decided that it really doesn't matter why. I'm not sad or even depressed - it's bordering between anger and coldness, a truly frightening emotional landscape, if you know me well.
What's scaring me is that I'm starting to like it.
Sigh.

I would truly hope that we as a people would not act like savages and riot if we don't like the results of the election! I'm still on the fence about what to do that day, as I'm an issue-driven person rather than one party or another. We'll see.
It is always hard when you get a new job to not feel sort of disassociated from your normal self. I always find it takes a month or two before I feel comfortable being myself, but honestly, I always keep work and personal mostly separate to protect myself. I found that once I was able to have a part of me I used at work and a part of me I used at home, I got hurt less at work b/c I was more objective and able to take this less personally when people were rude or thoughtless.
