Vote for me???

I get this email from a classmate in my social work program that states, “Good luck in the election, Linda!!” and I was completely clueless. Being busy — incredibly busy at the time, I close it out with a mental note to write her “later”. Okay, a few more days pass and then I start getting several emails with the same well wishes. Hold on a minute. So I go into my school email hoping to find something to lend some light to this mysterious election. I see a ballot for the BSW Senate in my mail and I open it … yep, there I am — listed for BSW representative running against someone I don’t know, for a position I know nothing about. However, I figure that is analogous to the real world and politics — not knowing what one is doing. The mystery was finally solved last night when two of my “friends” in the program contacted me and said, “Oh yeah, we nominated you to run for blah, blah … you will be great … you are intelligent, able to talk to anyone and will represent our school wonderfully …. yaddah, yaddah “.

What the hell, I can’t do any worse than our nation’s current administration.

I fill out my ballot. I vote for myself. I send it in. Vote for me as the BSW Representative — I’ll speak our mind
