Who among us will be able to concentrate at all on Nov. 4?

[BklynChick]

Certainly not me. :hi:

[Mother Of Four]

1. Me either

I'll share my coffee with you though.
:donut:

[BklynChick]

4. how about a scone too? I want to live it up a little that day.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. It will be a terribly stressful day...the waiting will be interminable.

[bigscott]

3. as ususal

I have taken the day after election day off this year. i can stay up late (and do the dance of joy) and not worry about work in the morning

[ginnyinWI]

12. I believe it will be called early--very early--for Obama. n/t

[NWPatriot]

13. Hey! Me too!

I've taken both the 4th AND 5th off, with pay.

I will probably try to relax during the day, but after about 4pm Pacific time I will be ensconced in front of my computer, and I'll probably be up all night.

Maybe no apple martinis, but a good beer will be in order.

[pink-o]

19. I always do the same!

Luckily, living on the West Coast I don't have to wait so long at night to hear results. (2000 being the exception!:grr: ) But I figured out in '96 that I'm too drained to work the next day, regardless of the results.

Michael Moore once declared that Election Day should be a National Holiday here. I say it should always be the day after!

[Lint Head]

20. Me too.

:dem:

[cliffordu]

5. Me. Zyprexa apple martini. nothin but net.

[Juche]

6. I have to work that day

I will have a radio though, but the building is concrete so I get very few channels and I work until 10pm. It will be hellish having to find out about the election that way.

[andyrowe]

7. Have you seen Scanners?

That's what I'll be going through.

[quantass]

10. You mean this?

[andyrowe]

23. Oh man.

I'm gonna 'splode!

[islandmkl]

8. it will be a major endeavor to remain coherent, let alone sober, waiting for the polls to close...

we are on the crest...

the anticipation of the break is overwhelming at times...

[peace13]

9. I'll be working the at .polls

The worst will be fifteen minutes after we close when the Diebold machines print out the 'results' for the day. We will know then and there how the day went. Peace, Kim

[dbmk]

11. I have the advantage of it starting way later on the day here.

But still don't reckon it will be my best work day ever. :)

[Mz Pip]

14. I'm already stressed

God only knows what I'll be like on Nov 4.

[SteppingRazor]

15. If by "concentrate" you mean "concentrate on election results," then yes, I will concentrate.

But concentrate on anything else? Um, no.

[ecstatic]

16. Which approach is best: Avoid all media and internet or

keep up with every detail? :shrug: I might have to isolate myself from the entire situation on that day. Nerves will be fried. But I better wake up to good news dammitt! :mad:

[Kceres]

17. Thinking ahead, I've asked for Nov. 5 off.

So has hubby. We figure either way, we'll be up late the night before and/or a touch hung over.

[demnan]

18. I'll be at the polls handing out literature

For most of the day. My other team leader for our precinct is a lawyer so he will probably be stationed inside. The campaign is bringing in lawyers to supervise the election procedure. The campaign is in need of lots of people for canvassing and driving people to the polls and phoning. We will be phoning on election day.

Then I will either go to the Democrat's victory party at the local sports bar or my Peace Group's party. Probably just stop by the Democrat's Party and go to the Peacemaker's party.

[VWolf]

21. I'll be taking the 4th & 5th off.

The 4th to GOTV, and the 5th to celebrate.

[Left Is Write]

25. My husband is planning to take the 4th off also.

[MrsBrady]

22. i had better be able to concentrate, i'm an alternate election judge

:bounce:

[Left Is Write]

24. I can't concentrate NOW. I'm very antsy.

[Clio the Leo]

26. You mean like at work? It's precisely why I'm taking my vacation. lol NT

[SmokingJacket]

27. No matter what happens, it will be unbelievable.

I will be in total (ecstatic) shock if my candidate wins!

I will be in total (agonizing) shock of he doesn't!

[polmaven]

28. As long as you

concentrate long enough to get you vote cast properly, that's all we need. After that, DREAM of 01/20/09, 12:01 PM! :hi:

[azmouse]

29. I think Nov 3rd will be even worse.

Once the voting starts on Nov 4 there will be continuous tv coverage to keep me occupied.
But that day before the election... I think I'll spend the day housecleaning just to burn off the nervous energy.
