My Ears are Ringing

My phone has been ringing off of the hook.

Do I know some really sweet gossip? Did I do something astounding? Did my team win the Super Bowl?

No. I've been insanely out of touch, only if you count quitting my old job as something astounding and none of the teams I root for are above .500.

My phone is ringing like crazy with pre-recorded calls asking me to vote for Creigh Deeds or Bob McDonnell or some guy for school board.

This is driving me crazy. I sit down to dinner with my family. *ring* I hop in the shower. *ring* I have just tucked my kids into bed. *ring* *ring*

Honestly, if it weren't already annoying enough to answer the phone and have it be a recording now I have to answer the phone six or seven times a day to a recording.

And don't even get me started on volunteers who call my house after 8:30 at night when my kids are asleep.

It almost makes me not want to vote.

Almost.

Instead I am going to start a grass roots movement to elect whatever candidate supports a bill to make these phone calls illegal.

Sure we need roads and schools and laws and out of the war - but this nonsense is driving me crazy.

I'm just glad that after today this crap is going to stop.

For about 335 days.

*sigh*

Honestly, get out and vote today. It is our privilege, and plus I was just there and the lines weren't very long.
