just some observations

i haven't had much interesting or worth writing about lately, but here are a couple of things that i've been mulling over for the past few days.

the board of elections is not accustomed to actually having to deal with people who are interested in actively participating in the elections. i think they are used to dealing with the candidate people, but not the average joe who calls up to get information about his voting district. i know this because many of thse average joes then call my office with misinformation or in utter frustration asking for help. i think this is sad because it indicates to me that not many people are interested in their local elections. they just read the newspaper or watch tv to get information about the federal candidates.

there are an awful lot of women writing on blogs and claiming to have "the best husband in the world". i wonder how can this possibly be true when i have him? but actually, i'm very glad to see so many of my friends and acquaintances have good, happy, healthy marriages. sometimes, with the line of work i am in, the stories of divorces and broken families along with the statistics are overwhelming. sad. but reading these blogs is sweet and encouraging.

mcdonalds lattes are not bad. i'm no coffee connoiseur, i'm more of a mocha connoiseur. but today i got a plain latte, just for a change. it was very creamy and not too bitter. me gusta.

it's funny how when the office is crazy busy, my office mate gets more energized yet i get more exhausted. funny? or pathetic? she's asking for a tranquilizer and i'm asking for a nap. or at least please make the phones stop ringing for a half hour. please.

speaking of crazy busy, i've been so tired lately. work is crazy and after work i have homework and class. sweet p's been very tired, too, due to the adaptation to his new job. so we're not very social lately. i've been feeling kinda melancholy too, which is not really that unusual for me. i hope it is a mood that passes quickly instead of lingering like the rain we're having this week. it's the ebb and flow of life.

Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me mad.
Baby, you just make me mad.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
