Who else is taking the day off from work (or whatever) when Obama wins??

[sampsonblk]

I am. I am cooking a bird. Biggest one I can find. That day is going to be family time. I won't even consider going to work.

[firedupdem]

1. I'm jobless....hoping Obama can help me get back to work soon! n/t

[Versailles]

17. Ditto (n/t)

[Lisa0825]

2. Me!!!

I am taking off election day and Obama Day!!!

[glowing]

3. I'm trying to think of a way to.. I suppose though.. I won't be able to swing it.

My mom's coming down this next week.. Unfortunately, its the only time she has and we are working on my house.. so, my time is being pulled away from Obama for my momma..

[Mz Pip]

4. I'm retired

and plan to sleep late if I can. I'll probably be up all night celebrating.

[sampsonblk]

9. No fair! You already have a head start! - nt

[Mz Pip]

16. The last 4 elections

I had to go to work depressed and demoralized. I think we are all due for some celebrating!

[jazzjunkysue]

18. I called in sick last time. I just couldn't face the kids. I was in shock.

This time, I'm baking and bringing it to work to celebrate. I want to be at work.

[CrispyQ]

25. I called in sick, too.

I was an election judge. We finished up around 9:15pm. I got home about 10 minutes later. Kerry was doing well - they had just declared PA for him. Then, in the next half hour OH flipped for boosh & it was over. I went to bed in tears & called in the next day. I worked in a small office at the time & everyone knew how involved I was in politics & that election. I was depressed for a few months. I had to make an effort to snap out of it.

If that happens again this year, I fear I will become an alcoholic.

[MannyGoldstein]

5. Great Idea!

I'll ask for it off as a day of celebration.

[Catshrink]

6. I'm definitely going to be "sick" on Nov. 5.

OMG I can feel it coming on now. cough cough.

:party:

[NanceGreggs]

7. I'm a contract worker ...

... and have already advised that I won't be available to work on the 5th - plan to be up all night, watching returns and celebrating!

:party:

[sampsonblk]

10. I know you can't wait!

I am counting down the days.

[IDemo]

8. Nah

I wouldn't want to miss some of my co-workers discussing the coming door-to-door handgun collection and "muslin" indoctrination.

[jaxx]

11. Me.

I work 3rd shift and am not going to work Nov. 4th. I have to watch the wins come in and then celebrate the 5th.

[kdmorris]

12. Vacation day already taken

I started doing it in 2000 actually. Now it's like a family holiday :)

[irish.lambchop]

13. I head back on 5 Nov

to celebrate in Dublin :toast:

[Barack_America]

14. Nah. I'll work harder on Nov. 5.

'Cause I'll be working to turn this country around and make his administration a success!

[Peacetrain]

15. I have already put in for vacation on that day

and plan to just sit and smile till my face hurts. Also to make a wonderful dinner for my family

[LSparkle]

19. Nope -- I'm taking November 4th off to vote and then watch returns

and on November 5th, I'll be glad to go to work and
celebrate with my Obamanation co-workers! (Wouldn't
miss that triumphal day for anything -- it'll be
one day I WON'T mind going to work!)

[liberalmuse]

20. I am on the 4th...

but may take the whole week off. I'm either going to celebrate my ass off, or go to DC and camp out in front of the White House until Obama is sworn in.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. My boss just gave me permission.

It's nice being self-employed.

[Phx_Dem]

22. Definitely.

Samponsblk's "bird cooking" idea is a good one, I think I'll do the same.

[Top Cat]

23. I plan totake Nov 5th off to contiune the celebration from the night before

[EffieBlack]

24. Chris Rock said if you have anything to do on 11/5 that requires black people

you should plan on not getting it done that day if Obama wins.

"If you're flying somewhere on November 5, you'd better plan on carrying your OWN bag!"

:rofl:

[rockymountaindem]

26. I only have an hour and a half of class at 5pm on Wednesdays

Plus I asked a prof. to reschedule a test we were supposed to have on Thursday since I didn't want to study on election night. Since the other three students agreed and since it's an American politics class, the prof. decided it would be okay to postpone the test. So yeah, I'm pretty much wide open.

[RichardRay]

27. From the Department of Too Much Information, I give you...

I have an appointment for the day after the election to go get The Test That
Aging Men Must Have And Don't Want To Think About. Luckily, my doc is a Democrat and strong local supporter of Senator Obama. If he were a Republican I'd think about rescheduling.

[Left 0f Center]

28. Already requested leave for the 5th.... I plan on having quite the celebration.
