Politics...shhhhh
Did I tell you that the Pres volunteered to work the polls for both the state and national elections? Shocked the heck out of me when he told me he'd volunteered! But he did. I'd warned him though that he can't corner people and give them his opinion. To say it bluntly, I told him he has to keep his mouth shut!! You see, the Pres is very vocal when it comes to politics...always has been...and I didn't want him to be fired before or during his duties.
Attending a meeting a few weeks ago, he was pretty quite about his job. Of course, the night before the local elections, he attended another meeting which was for setting up the tables and booths. Again, not much said.

However, his job was quite interesting actually. He had to hand everyone their paper ballot and account for all the ballots at the end of the night which really scared me. Why?
Because it takes him three hours to balance his checkbook!

Yet, election night when he got home, he boasted..."Oh I found out that I'm getting paid...$150.00" which he seemed happy about of course. In fact he seemed happier about that than the food they provided (bagels, donuts, coffee, juice for breakfast and salad, grinders, cold beverages and cookies for supper).
I just said to him again tonight..."Honey were you as shocked as I ...was to find that Connecticut is using paper ballots?"
His response?
"I said to them the day of the elections...when are you getting out of the dark ages?"
I guess we really are rural.
