Did it for the primary since I was going out of town. I work 10-12 hrs on Tuesdays so I'm hard-pressed to get up extra early and take the chance of it taking too long.

My work hours qualify me for absentee, and soon my state will (hopefully) be allowing absentee for everyone with no need for an excuse.

I generally enjoy the experience of going to the polls but my work schedule makes it a challenge these days.
