Inauguration Day

I am working today.
It will be crowded and cold on the Mall, and I get paid extra for working the holiday. I am hoping very much to at least be able to listen to the ceremony on the radio, as we have no TV at work and our Internet is waaaaaay to slow to stream anything.


And now I really have to get dressed and go to work, and deal with the hordes.

(no subject)

Work was slow.
We watched the ceremony, I tried not to throw things at Rick Warren (I, personally, don't feel there should be an invocation or a benediction at the Inauguration at all, but if there is, it shouldn't be Rick f*cking Warren). We drank sparkling cider when President Obama took the oath of office.

Getting to work was easy-peasy.

Getting home was a bit harder, because people wouldn't move out of the way when I tried to get off the train (they were on the platform), the escalators were all off, there was trash all over the escalators (which really upset me, how rude is it to come to someone's home and leave garbage all over the place), and there was only one faregate I could use to get out.

But I am home, I am warm, and I have a President I can believe in.
