Jesus. What happened?

The Aussie Federal election result is all weird. I feel crazy.

The worst part might have been the fact that I was working at a polling booth, and after voting closes, they lock you in to count votes so all you know is a little world full of green bits of paper all night. Then I had to drive to the mountains. At least I got fed there.

I found out that my special talent is finding people's surnames in tiny writing in huge books. I am really fast, man. REALLY fast.

When crossing off people's names as they came in, I couldn't work out how to ask if people had already voted in this election as a non-confusing question. It's pretty much impossible. You have to ask it, though.

I would do it again, but I miss watching the TV all night. I was getting all my result information off scrutineers.

I get a vibe that there will be another election soon. Real soon. And maybe New South Wales could vote the way we did. The right way. That would be great, thanks.
