Going Slightly Mad
I cannot settle down to work today. My head is too full of...stuff.
1. I'm feeling completely sick about this election. I'm sick at the prospect of having to hit the barricades to keep my marriage from being invalidated. I'm sick at the idea of Canadian kids being sent to fight George Bush's war. And I don't know who I'm more angry with -- Paul Martin for getting himself into this mess or Stephen Harper for forcing an election before anyone really had time to figure out who did what to whom. And if I see Jack "Nader" Layton, I'm going to kick him in the nuts.
And is nobody else worried by the fact that Harper actually said that we should depend on the Liberal-dominated Senate to protect us from him?? WTF?? Firstly, the Senate is not going to block legislation that's passed in the House of Commons. Secondly, he's telling us that he's going to behave in such a way that the Canadian people might wish to hide under the skirts of the Senate. And nobody's going to be able to say that he didn't warn us.
2. I'm stressing about this job for K. They said they'd be contacting people on or about today to set up interviews. It's one o'clock and we've heard nothing. That's not necessarily bad news, but I'm in knots about it.
3. I've been burying my head in the fanfic sand to avoid thinking about items 1 and 2. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because, since there's not a bloody thing I can do about the election or this job, I might as well make use of all this nervous energy. But thinking about elevator sex when I'm supposed to be coming up with a new communication strategy for a huge policy initiative? Not really the best use of my brain.
*sigh*

I hope that you don't have to suffer the types of crooks and swindlers that we have been forced to endure. It is as if someone is holding the US hostage. I was going to fly to europe this summer on Air Canada, because of you all being less of a target. How fast do you suppose that will change? Troops abroad. Following the cabal that leads this nation into war after war? I will light a candle for the Canadian spirit to rebuke the shysters from the south...

*sigh* Returns are starting in a few minutes.
