Awkward
-Having a phone conversation with someone who was fired the day before and doesn't know it yet.
-Having to lie when she asks if you know why your editor was trying to get in touch with her the day before.
Politics, etc.
Tuesday I shook hands with city council candidate A. Gifford Miller's father on the way to the subway. Then on my way to vote I shook hands with A. Gifford Miller himself.
The voting booths were the best part of election day, though. I've always voted absentee (so I can vote in important Belvidere mayoral races and the like), so this was a first. But I think that New York voting booths are especially entertaining. There's a giant red lever that comes up to about your waist. You push it all the way to the right, and then you turn a switch next to the name of the person you want to vote for. It looks kind of like you're controlling some sort of boiler or furnace. Then when you're done you push the giant red lever all the way back to the left. I felt like I was in a Looney Toons Cartoon and a trap door was going to open or a giant anvil was going to drop from the ceiling.
Bright lights, small city
I went to an Ed2010 Speed Networking (think speed dating) event on Tuesday. I met two people who used to work with my cousin, and I'm pretty sure one of them is good friends with her. Wacky.
