Waiting Again

If you hadn’t heard or you don’t live in Colorado, yesterday was a nightmare for voters. It wasn’t even a presidential election. Server crashes, limited polling locations, Slow information gather were just a few of the issues that plagued the process that had many waiting in line for hours. I had decided to take a break from work mid afternoon and head next store to the Colorado Convention Center to cast my vote. “2 Hour wait?!? I have a meeting in an hour!” That was bunk. So I had to wait till after work to hit up the local high school. It ended up being a 90 min process which certainly could have been worse. The Volunteers were great keeping us up to date on line progress, and keeping us occupied with snacks and water. Usually after waiting in such a ridiculous line there’s a roller coaster or some sort of excitement at the end. In this case I got to press a few buttons and hope for the best. Exciting? Ehhh not as much as say the Raptor but certainly one of those proud to be American moments.
