Let's Get to Work

Well, it happened. Obama is the President Elect and there's definitely a change in attitude, if only for the moment. It's like changing jobs, there's that anticipation, that excitement of starting something new. But after a couple of weeks, you realize, it's STILL a job and you still have to get up & go to work. The real difference doesn't hit you for a couple of months, when you know that either you like what you're doing and the people you work with better than your old job or you get that feeling you should have never left. I've said it before & I'll say it again - I don't know why anyone would want that job.

It was interesting, too, how nonplussed the crowd in Grant Park was by the presence of all those attention-whore celebrities that showed up. I laughed when I saw Oprah standing in the crowd along with everyone else, too funny! Overall, Midwesterners aren't as impressed with celebrities as much as they are with themselves....

Finally, for those few idiots that predicted riots and violence in the wake of the Grant Park celebration, a big FUCK YOU. Chicagoans acted with respect, excitement & joy - the last thing on their minds was to hurt each other.

Let's hope the rest of the nation can pick up on that vibe and start working together.

Congrats, Pres. Obama - now punch in & get to work!
