Well, I am back home and I'm pissed off. Horrible fucking planning, HORRIBLE, by the local team. The convention center is huge and they had one small part cordoned off for the rally. Bleachers stacked up against the wall, an acre or more of absolutely NOTHING but floor. Had we left when
I planned to leave (I couldn't, because I let John use my car today stupidly thinking he'd be home on time), had we gotten in another security line that wasn't ran by assholes (we just stood there as people moved past us at rapid pace), had the cop and other Secret Service guy listened to the one who was going to let us in, we would have been at the rally right now. But, because of poor planning and a reallllllly rank smelling excuse, my daughter, who has been yelling O-BA-MA all day long got shuffled into the overflow room along with hundreds, if not close to a thousand of Obama supporters, so many they're going to need an overflow overflow room. All I could tell her was, "I'm sorry baby, I'll make it up to you." I knew that after being in line and going through security for more than an hour, eating hardly anything this evening, having to listen to the insane rally 400 feet away (the speakers they had set up weren't even working), would all be too much for for my already tired 3 year old. Even if he made an appearance in the room (I'm sure he will) it likely wouldn't be until close to, or after 9:00, after he shook hands and all that stuff, there's no fucking way she would have made it without a melt down. People looked so dejected. I am so fucking mad right now. The fire marshal shut the area down as we were standing there looking at allllll kinds of standing room right in front of us. It just smells like 4 day old fish. I've seen people packed like sardines in a high school gym in Concord and Nashua, NH, but they still got everyone in. I couldn't help but tear up and bitch vocally at no one in particular a little bit as I was thinking about the family we were in line with who came from Mississippi just to see him speak. I'm sure there were many people/families/children like that, who may not have made it in. When we left there were several hundred people still in line outside, and more still making their way through the security line. If you could have seen the look on these people's faces when they found out we couldn't go in the rally. It's not about me, I've seen him several times, and I'll see him again. My daughter will see him, dammit, I will be planning a trip for us as soon as I clear my head. John will likely see him on that trip as well, I am just fucking pissed off that so many people got fucked, for no good reason. None. I'm so pissed off right now, I need to calm down a little. Senator Obama is a good man, and I'm sure he and/or Michelle will come and greet/speak to those folks because there were enough people for a whole other mini rally. I plan to call the local office tomorrow and find out why the fuck they only planned on using 1/4 of the convention center floor in a city like Louisville. I am disappointed in our local campaign people, every other rally I've been to has been better organized, every single one. All I can do is shake my head, ridiculous. When you see the line (when I post the video), several blocks long, filled with many of the folks who didn't get in, you will, too.
How did a great day go so wrong?
Sagittarius (11/22-12/21)-
Everything is falling nicely into place, and you couldn't be having a lovelier day. All the harmony you are experiencing in your life right now is due mostly to the fact that you and all your friends or coworkers are focusing on the creative side of things and waiting until ideas are solidified before putting them into action. It's wise to not rush ahead of yourself, because if you do, you could paint yourselves into a corner that will be nearly impossible to get out of.
Man this felt so right earlier today. Shit, I guess I should have read this part:
Quickie:
Everything is falling nicely into place, and you are experiencing great harmony.
Overview:
You are running into some big troubles with authority figures today, though it's only partly their fault. That chip on your shoulder just won't let you leave well enough alone for now!
Fuck you, horoscope.
