Thank. You. America.*

* Although Minnesota 6th, you look like you're voting Michelle Bachmann back in. That pisses me off no end.

Dear Lovely Citizens of America,

Please vote. I know it's not mandatory, but a lot of people (especially women) fought hard for you to have the right to.

(Just don't vote for Romney. Please. Just don't. He's evil and will make you look even dumber than you did when Dubya was POTUS.)

Sincerely,
The Rest of the World

Three days off from my main job and what will I be doing? Working for someone else. #dopey #warpedpriorities

This may well be what gets me through the next month...

Transcribing, transcribing, transcribing. My shoulder is killing me, but on the plus side, I am now much more knowledgable about place names in the South Pacific region.

Boy, when they chose the name 'Vigorous Thai' for their massage company, they sure weren't kidding.  Twenty minutes of having elbows dug into various points around my neck and shoulder and I feel battered (but much better!).

Five different chair options in my house and still I can't find one which is comfortable enough to sit and type 50,000 words worth of transcriptions in.  Also, I need a new shoulder please - my left one is about done in.
