Fuck
So far, this has been my morning:
I woke up happy, but then remembered the email exchange I had with HR yesterday about how the short-term disability policy I’ve been paying into for two years now might not cover my maternity leave.
Then I remembered that today is payday, but that my paycheck will only be half of what it normally is because of some glitch in payroll that they are fixing by only paying us for one week of work rather than two. And no, they don’t plan to reimburse us for the lost week of work. Ever.
I walked out of my house to get into my car and saw that someone egged me last night. And I had just paid to wash my car yesterday.
I’m still pregnant and this baby doesn’t seem to want to come out. I’m dilated, effaced, walking on a daily basis, and had accunpuncture on Wednesday, and she still seems happy as a clam in there. I guess my belly is so comfy and all the baked goods I’m feeding her have her convinced that she’s in no hurry to join us in the oxygenated world outside my uterus.
But really, this is what’s ruining my day. It’s bloody genius. And it’s totally going to fuck with every bit of momentum Obama may have had on his side after last night’s speech.
I’m so pissed.

I think she’s quickly becoming a joke. Two years ago she was mayor of a 5,000 person town. In Alaska. Hopefully I’m not betraying the sisterhood here, but I think it’s terrific (for us) and a huge blunder (for them). Also, she named her children Track and Trig and is being investigated for corruption.
I am enjoying it thoroughly.

Ruined my day, too. An insult to voters who largely vote with their brain and not their demographic-controlled emotions. I think it’s big trouble because we are emotional voters.
She may be some Miss Alaska runner-up, but Obama’s still wayyyy hot, (he’s in my top five FO SHO!) and Michelle ain’t no slouch, either.

Meh. I’m no hardcore feminist but I strongly believe that the government has precisely zero right to fuck with my uterus (even if its serving no greater biological purpose at the moment). Fortunately, many Hillary supporters agree with me. Also fortunately, Mrs. Palin does not.
