Vote to have younger volunteers

I VOTED

 

Has anyone ever noticed how all the workers at the polling place are old and cranky?  Well, not all of them.  The guy at the first table where you fill out the little card with your name and address on it was actually funny.  He we teasing us (Cat and I) and joking with us.  Then we went down to get “checked in”.  The old women there were cranky and very unhelpful.  Two of them actually argued about “when” they could give Cat her ballot (apparently if there is a line you aren’t allowed to hold a blank ballot, or something like that).  Perhaps spending all day at a desk helping people perform their civic duty is more than a 70 year old woman can handle.

Anyway, I just thought I’d complain about old people.  I haven’t had a real good experience with them this week (insert work story that I’m not allowed to talk about because of confidentiality).  Let’s just say, this week OLD PEOPLE SUCK.  They don’t always suck, just this week.  Next week I might love them.

Ok, I’m out.

No old people do tend to forget that they are influencing other people's daily lives with their sour attitude of the world. As for the people at the votting locations, I don't understand why they volunteer if they really don't want to be there. At least I get the impression they don't want to be there because they are so evil. Blah! When I went to vote there was one college age girl, and I'm not going to lie I was pleasantly surprised to see her helping. I guess more surprised that the old crotchedy woman allowed her to help!
