Anybody else unable to do any work today?
I can't get anything done because I keep reloading the "General Discussion" page for news on Virginia. :)

9. I've GOT to tear myself away here shortly...
...but I keep saying "five more minutes." Once I manage to close this window, I should be super-energized to get stuff done, though!

13. Switching to autopilot when I go in
Fortunately, I can't do any of the REAL work on my list without the help of our County Clerk and she's asleep :D She'll be asleep for awhile.

14. I keep coming to my office to check DU between classes.
I missed hearing the Rumsfeld announcement live by ONE MINUTE! But I teach in a computer lab so I was able to sign on and find out about an hour later. :)

19. Happened to me too
just some hours earlier - as I live and work in Germany. Can't say I got much done today.

21. I can't, though I do have to go to a meeting with my boss.
However, he's a totally cool guy, so no worries.

22. Still in my nightgown at 11 AM. Shame on me! Luckily, I'm retired, but still have lots of things
to do that I put on the back burner!

30. Oh, man
I was managing to pretend until the word came down about Rummy. As soon as my anti-Bush boss shows up, all hell is going to break loose here. No one will get anything done.

31. I can't get a damn thing done
I'm glued to the tube and DU hanging on every news piece. It's been six years coming and even though I've only had two hours of sleep I still feel the adrenline flowing. I know I'll drop tonight, but this is a rare day in history and I really don't want to miss a thing.

33. Can't accomplish a thing. Boss gave me a bunch of drafts to have
ready for when she returns from court, and I haven't finished any yet. Thank goodness she's as blue as I am. She'll forgive me.

34. Longtime lurker, excitement of yesterday got me to register at last
I was up much of the night...turned in when they said the last votes in MT and VA were being counted to day. I went to bed about 1:30 (Pacific) and was up at 6, checking for new results. Luckily, work's not too busy because I'm reading a few websites in addition to refreshing DU repeatedly. MSNBC is streaming in the background also.

CA didn't do much surprising, I didn't think, though I'm happy about Bowen getting SoS. I'm seriously giddy about the national outlook, though.
