NEVER AGAIN---LOL







CHECK OUT THESE PHOTOS..I JUST DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE DIFFERENT SIZES, BUT THEY ARE HERE..THE FIRST ONE Y'ALL KNOW..THE SECOND ONE IS IN THE LIBRARY, AND SO IS THE THIRD ONE..DUH..THE LAST PICTURE IS HOW LIFE IS.IF YOU LOOK AT THE BIRDS, EGRETS, THEY ALWAYS FLY IN A FLOCK. THERE IS A BLACK ONE THAT FLIES WITH THEM. EITHER THEY DONT KNOW HE IS BLACK BECAUSE THEY CANT TELL OR HE DOES NOT KNOW HE IS BLACK CAUSE HE IS A STUPID BIRD!!! ALL KIDDING ASIDE HE/SHE IS ALWAYS WITH THE GROUP.
THE TITLE SHOULD TELL U THAT I WILL NEVER AGAIN WORK THE POLLS. I WAS THERE AT 5:10AM AND THERE WERE 3 PEOPLE ALREADY WAITING..THE DOORS OPENED AT 7AM AND THERE WAS A LINE ALREADY. I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE A BOOK HERE, SO I WILL SHORTEN THE STORY. IT WAS NON STOP ALL DAY. THE LONGEST THE LINE EVER GOT WAS ONE HOUR 15 MINUTES..THATS PRETTY GOOD. EARLY VOTING WAS NEVER LESS THAN 2 HOURS. MY JOB WAS TO SEAT THE PERSON AFTER THEY GOT THE BALLOT. WE HAD 10 SEATING BOOTHS AND 4 STANDING. IF U KNOW ME IN PERSON, I HAVE A SOMETIMES WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR. EVERYBODY I SEATED WAS TREATED BY ME IN MY OWN NUTTY WAY. EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY. MY OTHER JOB WAS TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO AIDED THE FOLKS WHO WERE EITHER BLIND OR COULD NOT READ THE BATTLE. I WAS THE MAIN ONE. ONE OF US WAS A DEM AND THE OTHER GOP. I STARTED BY ASKING THEM THEIR CHOICE OF PREZ. THE REST WAS LONG BUT EASY, I FOUND THAT THESE PEOPLE WERE PREPARED TO VOTE. SOME PEOPLE STAYED IN THE BOOTH FOR A HALF HOUR. THEY WERE NOT PREPARED. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAD THEIR BALLOT REJECT AT THE FINAL SPOT. THESE PEOPLE HAD TO GET NEW BALLOTS. I WAS DEAD ON MY FEET WHEN ANOTHER WORKER WHO WAS GIVING OUT THE BALLOTS ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO SWITCH..LOVE THAT GAL. HER JOB WAS TO RIP OFF THE BOTTOM FOR CONTROL AND HAND OUT THE BALLOT. AT LEAST I GOT TO SIT FOR 2-3 HOURS AND WE SWITCHED AGAIN. AT 15 MINUTES TO 7 WE HAD NO MORE PEOPLE WHOOPS A GIRL CAME IN AND VOTED AND LEFT AT ONCE. AT 7PM WE SHOUTED AND LOCKED THE DOORS..THE NEXT DAY, WELL I WILL WRITE ABOUT THAT MAYBE TOMORROW. THATS WHY I CALL IT NEVER AGAIN..SO SEE YA

  3. The photos are the same size ... just in different spaces up and down?? Hmmm if he is always with the white ones, then they must be following him because he is the smartest!! If it was one white one with 3 black ones.. then I would say it was the stupid white one. lmbo Yep! Bet he is pretty smart, finds food for the others and leads them in the right direction. hehehe I can understand why you won't work again. You must be more work brittle than I. lol Hope you have gotten rested up by now. Janie
