Diary of a desperate woman at the weekend of the elections day


Friday

Today I must prepare the last meeting. All the people of my department are crazy and very nervous (the are fantastic and always help me a lot, in fact I’m very happy with my team…) I must quickly review the last important instructions for the election day.

It’s a hard day today and I suppose I’m going to finish my working day very late, so I make up my mind to rest tomorrow morning… well, I’ll try…

Saturday

I wake up early (I usually do it, I like it !) I enjoy going to buy the newspaper and prepare my breakfast calmly. I listen to the radio and I think I’m going to have a peaceful morning… I need it so much...

I decide go to the Mercat de La Concepcion. I would prefer to go to La Boqueria rathen thant La Concepcion, but I haven’t time enough because this afternoon I must return to the Council. Suddenly, meanwhile I was waiting my turn in a fruitshop, my mobile phone is ringing.... It’s the Judge’s Secretary.... someone is giving out political propaganda the day before the elections ! Oh my God ! I think today is going to be a difficult day too... Bye bye to my relax morning....!

Sunday

I wake up very early, at 6:00 am... I’m exhausted ! Tonigth we have finished at 11:40 pm.... At 8:00 am we starts the electoral day. All my people are prepared and they have instructions to resolve all kind of problems (I hope so !) and I also hope they will make a good role today...

Arrive at home at 11:00 pm... (In fact I thought we will finish later...) Finally I’m at home and I don’t know who’s the winner... well I suppose, but I don’t mind.

I can’t sleep... I’m still vey nervous and I’m thinking in this working day. Suddenly I decide that I would have been happier If I had worked in a McDonalds... Yes ! tomorrow I will prepare my curriculum vitae ! (I wonder: What will my Major think about my decision?....I think I’m a dreamer....)

See you !
