Tuesday and Friday vibes rolled into one... Someone from the 'powers that be' thought it made sense to make voting day a public holiday. This is awesome considering the fact that most businesses would be chaotic if people were leaving work all over the show and not actually coming back in time, etc - with a good reason - queues. Which could be total crap, but yet, not something that any employer would question. So it's a holiday.... and apparently that means that everyone can now go out and get completely wasted, sleep really really late, and either 1) not wake up; 2) wake up really late and realise that the queues will be too long to go right now, and that you'll go at the last minute, and then at the last minute, realise that you've passed the last minute; 3) wake up, go down, feeling bad, and after standing in the queue for an hour, almost vomiting on your shoes and feeling ridiculously dehydrated, you decide that your one measly vote won't really make a difference and consequently head home; 4) You go down, and in your hungover state with your mind feeling all afuzz, you decide to vote for a different party coz it's funny.
All these scenario's are possible... hopefully not likely, but that's what can be expected of the majority of our 'voters'. Any excuse to party... are our lives really that mundane that with every possible opportunity to not work the following day, we choose to sleep it away? As though it never happened or came? Almost doesn't make sense does it? If you think about it. I'm just stoked that I get an entire day off to do whatever I feel like at the sacrifice of 1 hour in a queue. All I want to do at this stage is get in the black beast and head to Knysna... but patience has never been a familiar strength... But who really likes waiting? Really? Didn't think so.. :)
Oooooh and last thought, seeing as how the world is potentially coming to an end on Saturday:
