Blah.
I knew going to bed last night that there would still be limbo this morning but it still feels weird. I rarely to never talk about politics in my LJ. But I want to point out my darling ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minervacat amazing post this morning. And then I wanted to think about ingrid_m's post, which is more about the potential Why? of it all.
On a personal note, being distracted by the waiting this morning nearly made me put red curry paste instead of strawberry jam on my bagel. Which would have been horrific.
And on an even more frustrating personal note - exactly what I feared with my review happened - my COO had to cancel/postpone. And worse, the suggested reschedule was for lateish afternoon on the 11th - which is when I need to finish up a project so I can duck out early and fly to visit SF. *facepalms* And then the SECOND suggested rescheduling was actually for when I was out of town!! And I'm still waiting to hear about the third. But at this rate it will never happen and you know, I realllly want my salary review, please, because I both need and deserve a raise. *sigh*
This will also poke holes in my buying-a-car-plan, which I wanted to do so that I didn't have to continue to trust mine, particularly on trips up to the airport, which always worry me because hey, my nightmare is not just breaking down but breaking down and missing a flight! Heh. Still, I am tough and strong. And also virtually looking at the Hyundai Elantra and the Nissan Sentra as cheap-but-new-cars.
Or I could go used and obviously get a lot more car for my money, I've just never owned a new-new car and the idea is shiny. Very shiny. Even if impractical.
I should focus on the bright side that I did not start my morning off with a cream cheese and curry paste bagel.

Always look on the bright sight of life…
On the other hand, would it kill Kerry to fight a little bit more?

Looking at the actual facts and figures - this isn't 2000. The margin was a lot smaller then - there's virtually no chance that Kerry would win, the popular vote is clearly for Bush and Kerry would basically have to win every single one of the provisional ballots in the Ohio race to win. Which isn't going to happen, and he knows it.
