Another analogy:
- I've seen people doing blind bungee jumps for a myriad of reasons, and some practical jokes regarding said bungee jumps, such as at bachelor parties where the groom-to-be bungee jumps blindfolded.
I liken the CA primary as a bachelor party groom's blind bungee jump, when he thinks he's going off a bridge, but instead...
Jumps into a wading pool 9 inches deep.
OOOKKKAAAYYY!
We went to vote at our polling place late Tuesday morning.
There are only two people working there; the Inspector and another clerk.
Since I'm not working at this particular nanosecond AND I was an Inspector in 2012 for two precincts in La Habra, I called the Registrar of Voters and volunteered for my precinct.
YUP, I'm gonna be a Poll Worker late this afternoon until around 9 PM, so this blog won't be completed until 'way later tonight.
If at all.
Ok, of course I got there when the late afternoon sun was shining into the garage, making it kinda hot.
We had a total of 55 people come in, BUT in this precinct, a lot of people got the Vote By Mail envelopes and in this precinct we usually get a great turnout anyway, so I'll bet a lot of people turned in their envelopes or mailed them in. We had almost as many envelopes turned in to us as there were physical voters! I hope November is better. Or less dull.
I chatted with some of my neighbors, handed them my business cards, asked them to let me know if they knew of any jobs, and used the down time to look at some job websites. (I took my tablet in just in case it was slow, so it worked ok that way.)
Made some lists of things that would help in the next election if I work again (and if I do, I'll have to document job searching on a Saturday or Sunday to make up for it)
Some things to remember are:

Some things to remember are:
- Since our polling place is on the edge of La Habra which is Orange County, we don't have to worry about people from LA County dropping off their envelopes. BUT if there are people who work in our area and they live in LA County, they MUST go to the nearest LA County polling place to drop off their Vote By Mail envelopes!!! So I listed about 3-4 polling places in Whittier and La Mirada that were the closest to us.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot-one of my ex-coworkers called me and said I had some cards and stuff at work. I had to leave her a msg because I missed her call. Wonder what it is?
