3. We are, here in Utah
Daughter is taking the day off from the library (she's a cataloger), and we'll be treating it as a celebration, chicken and dumplings, divinity, Spumante, and so on and so on.

5. You bet! I am so excited, I can't stand it.
I'll spend half the day on the phone, listening to my children and grandchildren exclaim how great it is, and the rest watching the proceedings with a mixture of crying and hoping everything goes smoothly and the Obamas are safe.

7. I am. I requested the day off shortly after the election. Can't travel to
DC, but I'll be at home, watching the play by play.

10. We will
And I suspect there will be parties all over the Bay Area. We'll be in front of the TV before 9:00AM PST. And then I will make us all a magnificent midday meal. And if there are parties in the streets in SF, we'll attend those in the evening.

11. So far I'll be watching it live...
If I get a call for work I'll go though. I can't afford to say no to very many jobs in this economy.

12. You bet your ass I am..............
But since I'm unemployed I guess I'm not really taking the day off, so........I don't think it counts as a day off!
