[SheltieLover]

8. I'm setting up at 3:30 this afternoon. Tomorrow's hours

for election judges is 5 AM until 9:30 PM.

I'm nervous to be on the frontlines.

[Coexist]

9. You and me both, but we got this!

I'm hoping for a drama-free day for both of us

[DinahMoeHum]

20. That makes 3 of us!

In New York, I have to be at the polling site at 5 AM to set up for polls opening at 6 AM.
(that means I'm up at 3:30 AM)

Polls close at 9 PM, then we have to close shop according to protocols and call in results. If chosen for my team and voting machine, I have to take the big blue rolling bag full of materials to the drop off point (city hall) and sign off.

Which means I won't be back home 'till around midnight, then I'm going straight to bed and sleeping for 10 hours. No TV, no social media, etc.

I'm in a suburban part of a city, so (knock on wood) no real drama will happen. And the weather is supposed to be partly cloudy no precipitation, so that helps.

[Coexist]

31. Yup! pack snacks and caffeine! LOL

[DinahMoeHum]

34. Oh, we set up a small table. . .

32. I always have a migraine after a long period of stress

If there's a source of stress that I can't control and it's suddenly relieved, I always get a migraine. One time I was worried about whether I had any blocked arteries because my doctor thought I had had a TIA and I was anxiously awaiting my ultrasound. During the procedure the technician told me I was clean as a whistle. I was so relieved that the next day I had a migraine. The mechanism is sort of a state-change for my brain chemistry, I guess. I expect that this Wednesday I may have the "mother of all migraines" but that's okay. That's really okay.

[Marthe48]

33. Tthank you!

I'm signing in at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow in Washington County, Ohio! In training, the instructors said that law enforcement will be patrolling the county all day, and won't be more than 5 minutes away from any of the polling places, in case there is a serious issue called in. It is a shame we have to be alert, but glad the B.o.E. and law officers are taking potential problems seriously. And really proud of people serving their country tomorrow

[dchill]
