Perhaps I'll stay here... Forever

so, it's really hard not to hit something(someone) right now.

Before going to bed after the 2000 election when the election was originally called for Bush I threw my nail scizzors across the room and freaked out my roommate. I managed not to throw anything this year (yet) but I have to say I'm about ready to clock the next person who looks even remotely cheerful.

I fell asleep late last night with the TV on waiting for the consession speach. This morning I woke up depressed, and to top it all off the BBC had some awesomely horrible reporting about how "America" is moving more conservative and Bush has a mandate, and how the House, Senate and Presidency all are under republican control now. Most of the stuff they said was true, but they reported it like 100% of Americans voted for Bush and not 51%.

So, I came to work distracted, looking like shit (I didn't shower this morning because I slept late) and my co-teacher, the one who knows how important this was to me, said I should just relax, not teach her classes today, which is a god send. Then the VP came up to me and said "Bushy" (they add EE to things that end in "sh") and gave me the thumbs up sign.

Let's just say he's lucky I didn't have a sharp object handy and I'm lucky I managed not to lose it (and my job).

Anyway, I'm going to go wallow for a while now before wallowing some more. If the Badgers lose to MN this weekend there is going to be hell to pay.
