Election Detail

What does that mean to me? Overtime and lots of it.
I am the Elections officer for my precinct and co ordinate all the polling sites. When the polls close at 9pm, cops that were assigned to each polling site return to the stationhouse. They hand to me and I enter the results from each machine into the computer. After that, I take the results to headquarters, than Associated Press and finally onto the Board of Elections on Varick Street. It is kind of a dubious process especially after you have been up for the previous 20 something hours fielding phone calls about machine problems, conflicts, campaigning near sites blah blah blah.
It is a long day, but a nice way to make about 13 hours overtime. This run off election was a nice bonus.
Peace out.
Come on along I’ll take you to a lullabye

While all ya’all were enjoying the game, yours truly was earning some cashola. My Help a Thirsty Adult Cause has but one contributing member, so I sacrifice my Super Bowl to help others. So, since it was going to be a quiet night in Times Square, I thought I would share with you, my dear reader, a night on post. Come, earn some overtime with me:
Your Chariot awaits. That's right...three wheels baby.
On Post
On Post. Still.
Now that we have been on post for about 4 hours, it is time to use the facilities. A very nice hotel is right down the street. Everyone was busy at the bar watching the game, so I was able to film the bathroom for your viewing pleasure. This is the most tile I have ever seen.
Ok, after a nice brisk walk back to post, you climb back into the the phone booth on wheels.
So, it is time to go home. This last video gets a bit jumpy, but that is how you roll in 3 wheels.

I have not seen Madaghan all week and only get to see Laurie for about an hour until 10pm bedtime. I am exhausted. Tonight, I am staying overnight. This only happens twice a year so in the bigger picture it is not that big of a deal. Plus, it does not come without benefits. All this extra time goes on the books. At the end of this fun week, I will put 25 additional hours on the books. That is 3 extra vacation days. So all in all not that bad, I just miss the girls.
