A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

I wanna remember this so I'm writing it down. On Saturday I celebrated my RenFest birthday and it was awesome. I ate, drank, laughed and danced. Afterwards,  I went to see Leafblower ATL play a show.  At this point I've now been shenaniganing since 2pm and it's now 1:30a. I head home to shower/nap because I have to be at MBS by 3am (that turned out to be a lie 🙃) to ride a bus to Orlando for the MLS Conference Semifinal.  The bus broke down (after issues with the heat & A/C, multiple stops, skipping the Cracker Barrel food stop, in addition to being over an hour late to pick us up at MBS) about 15 minutes away from the tailgate. We had to send the other bus ahead, wait for it to come back, and load up everything onto one bus. Then, of course, the Fox Bros boxed lunch food never arrived & we had to shuttle to/from the stadium. After the game, we had our customary 30 mins hold (that was actually 45 minutes).

To be fair to myself, I did think about posting and how I was running out of to days to get one in for October...but I just didn't post 😅.  Part of the reason I was so busy was prepping to the upcoming general election. I have really gotten passionate about getting and supporting the election process (especially in Georgia). This has taken several forms but most recently & consistently it's been through working the polls. I've done just about every job except Manager & Assistant Manager (though I have been asked).  While I truly do enjoy the job this particular election has felt...scary and off putting. It's become the norm to be mean and rude to those who may not share your views. Also, while I am favoring one candidate over another I'm seeing friends disintegrate relationships and dive deeper into divide this election.  It's scary stuff.
