Today I had one of those incredibly frustrating work days where you spend hours looking at something without really achieving much. The problem with working from home is that it’s very tempting to keep on working past your hours on such days, just to try to make a little bit of progress. I stopped myself from doing that, but it was a conscious decision not to spend my evening reading Elasticsearch documentation. Even now as I’m getting ready to sleep I still have that slightly fidgety anxious energy from being frustrated and wanting to do something useful. But at least I recognise it, I suppose.
Around this time four years ago I remember thinking that I’d be a bit disappointed if I woke up the next day and Hillary Clinton won. It just seemed like a boring outcome. Which I suppose is also why she didn’t win. I haven’t been following it this time around and I think I’m completely fatigued on UK politics from the last few years, but I’m still curious to find out the result. My prediction is a safe win for Biden. And some tantrums.

Non-Americans have entirely too much faith in us. Y’all need to learn to expect the worst of us. Only having the most chaotic election in modern history is surprisingly sane by current U.S. standards…

I can see why it’s such a big spectacle. The way the possible pathways are plotted out to the magic 270 figure is almost like watching a game unfold.
I’ve been on the losing side of pretty much everything I’ve ever voted in, so I know how you’re feeling at the moment!
