Voted

cattitude and I voted this morning on our way to work. We had to wait in line a few minutes, but everything went smoothly once we got to the front. I was voter number 58, which is higher than usual for a non-Presidential election, though not incredibly so. Then we walked to the subway, chatting with the woman who had been right behind us in line to get our ballots, and then between me and Cattitude to have them scanned. We then had a brief conversation in the elevator down to the station mezzanine, with someone who had heard us say something about voting: he wanted to know when voting had started. I told him it had started at six, and he had until 9 p.m. Very basic voter education (and a reasonable question, as it differs from state to state).

I was a little late to work, and then stayed a bit late: we have a lot to get done by Friday, and a three-member team, one of whom may be out for part or all of Wednesday-Friday for a family emergency. So I may be working late again tomorrow. I think my plan for the next couple of days is work; gym with Emilie on Thursday; and possibly stop off for tea (leaves) after work on Friday, since the deadline is 3:00 Friday, not "as late as you are willing to stay Friday." This means not seeing pecunium and other people tomorrow. (Some other week, I'd ask to take a long lunch and stay late; not this week, alas.)
