I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

Well, obviously since I'm online, I'm at work. My voice is better, thankfully. However, even after 12 hours sleep last night, I feel so run down, like I could just lie down and never get up again.

The right side of my head feels like it's been used as a football, I'm hot as hell and my heart's working overtime...but, I think I will make my bill next week now.

So, people keep asking me if I'm going to vote. Actually, usually I do, unless I'm ill or otherwise physically unable to get to the voting booth. However, this year I don't like EITHER candidate (I was--in fact have been for years--leaning towards Hilary), but...Palin would make such a disasterous leader, that I feel compelled to vote for Obama-even though I feel the man is incredibly wishy-washy... and think he may prove to be a wee bit of a jobsworth when the chips are down, quite frankly. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, if he wins.

With McCain, it'll be almost like a Bush Jr. Junior in the White House...albeit an incredibly old one. McCain has made some serious judgement errors in this campaign, though. First, his Palin pick may have inspired many moderate republicans--but, Palin and her radical (and often quite violent) views, frightened off quite a few independent voters who were sitting on the fence. Then, in the last debate, McCain went on the attack, instead of talking about the things Americans needed to hear, he just seemingly went on a rant against Obama. Americans facing losing jobs, homes and going hungry and without medical care...they don't want rants, they want positive answers. And, I think the latest polls prove that.

Will I vote? If I got the 10 dollars to spare for cab fare to the high school

(would this stinking republican-run city put the polling place on a bus line, so EVERYONE could easily access the voting booths? No! The republicans wouldn't think of that, 'cos thinking is really, really hard, and we wouldn't want the chav republicans in this naf town to hurt themselves, would we?)

Well, back to work in a few minutes. I guess if my computer had to break down, it's just as well it did it now, when I'm too out of it to care...I'm incredibly bored, but too darn out of it to care, at the moment.

Have a good night all

Still trying to work with a crap voice, but my fever's gone, thankfully, and my brush with pneumonia is on it's (slow) way out.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I'll make the other half of my electric/gas bill next Friday...or else I'll be without heat or lights (not joking, wish I was) I've lost so much time at work with this thing...and of course for me, no work translates into absolutely no pay...no sick day pay in my world. Ahh well, that's why I'm working when I'd rather be in bed, ha-ha.

I did my laundry today--had to go to the health center for a new prescription and to have my BP and lungs re-checked, so, the laundromat being just a few doors up the street, thought I'd kill those two proverbial birds with one stone, so to speak...but gah--I was so bad after..got home and suddenly started coughing..thought I'd cough up a blinking lung! Didn't do my working voice much good, let me tell you.

Anyway, it was a lovely autumn day today. The foliage is at peak: oranges, yellows and reds everywhere...and tonight, as the sun was setting, over on the south horizon, as I looked out my office windows, I saw a hot air balloon, floating along in the sunset--pretty sight!

Well, I'm pulling a short shift again, leaving 1 hour early, 'cos my voice is toast. Three hours seems to be my limit, at the moment...won't have a "proper" pay cheque until the last Friday of the month...life does suck, doesn't it?
