Exciting news! As of last night, I'm officially certified to work as a precinct clerk during this Tuesday's election!

I sent in the application earlier this week, and they booked me for one of the last training classes before the election. For an hour and a half, I learned about the procedures to open, run, and close the polling place, and how to properly account for ballots and voters and all that fun stuff.

So look forward to hearing more about my patriotic service. And if you're in Contra Costa County Precinct #258 (it's in Moraga), come say hello!
