...I'm back to share another happy day. This blog is becoming too happy. I don't recognize it anymore. It doesn't even let me delete any comments - not even my own!
Anyway, so after all the Obama hysteria - guess what, Obama is not a word according to the blogger dictionary, or any dictionary for that matter - but things will CHANGE soon :)
So after all the Obama hysteria - oh, I may not have been at Grant Park in Chicago that night, but I did witness something priceless the same morning. I was working at the cage (no, for the last time, not the kind in the zoo) and one of my professors walks up to us. My friend Cager J, my boss K, and I were behind the counter. Now, this professor, lets call him MF (haha), is well-known, at least to me, for being a chauvinistic pig. The first day I had class with him last year, he proudly announced to all of us that his fourth child was on his way, and that "it still works!" Anyway, so since I can't vote, I was trying to be pro-active, and participate in the excitement by asking everyone if they voted or not (mostly as an excuse to start a political dialogue, because everyone who voted had a sticker on their shirts saying "I voted today"). So MF comes to the cage, and asks Cager J if he had a hard time making a decision about who to vote for. Cager J, who is a sweetheart btw, says that he was undecided for a long time. MF says, in his characteristic smart ass way, "I just asked myself one question. If I was on a plane, and something happened to the pilot, and Obama and McCain were on the same plane, who would save my life?" Cager J is silent. In my head, I'm thinking, "OMG! Did he just say that?" My boss K, as composed as ever, says "A new plane, or an old plane?". "Ha!", I say in my head, "good one!" MF replies, "A plane is a plane, you know". Boss K says, "McCain doesn't know how to switch on a computer - there is no way he could fly a new plane". Before MF could react, I said to Boss K, "It's too late now. He voted already."
No matter how obnoxious MF can be sometimes, he is a nice guy - and I feel bad for him being a minority (Republican) in the faculty.
Anyway, so after all the Obama hysteria, life is back to normal.
