I Thank Myself

So state/city elections were yesterday, and I give myself a pat on the back. My zone limits meant I went to the Fargo Civic Center and voted today around 5pm. The major issue: smoking. The smokers had a little bit of false advertising going on, and on measures 1,2,and 3, they tried to sneakily convince people to vote Yes, No, Yes.

If you wanted smoking banned completely in public establishments, such as bars, you should have voted No, Yes, No (which I did).

Measure 1 stated that a 'Yes' vote let city officials turn over rulings with a 2/3 voting without consent from the voting public. Unfortunately, this passed.

Measure 2 stated that a 'Yes' vote would completely ban smoking from public places. This passed and I'm so happy! I hate stinky bars. If you go to a smoking bar, you come home and smell like ashtray and nutsack. The clothes you wore are worthless until you do laundry. This will take effect on July 1st. Awesome!

Measure 3 stated that a 'Yes' vote would uphold city laws on preexisting smoking laws. This did not pass, so with the Yes,No voting on measures 2 and 3 respectively, smoking is illegal in bars on July 1st.

I couldn't be happier. I bet there are stinky old truck drivers beating their wives tonight over the choices of the smart public. I'm a little surprised this took this long. We have to thank Moorhead for starting this trend, where their bars have been smoke free since October. With the popular views of the public going completely green, I knew this was only a matter of time. There has been such a transformation in being green in the last 4 years. I'm glad we're starting to catch on. I only hope they let you keep drinking in bars.

In victory, I invite everyone to join me on June 30th. I want to go out and laugh at everyone smoking. I want to count down the seconds at midnight and then watch disgusting smokers try to fight the law (for which they were probably to lazy to go out and vote for because they were too busy smoking at the Nestor (a complete dump where if you walk in for 30 seconds, you smell like death) to give a rat's ass).

On a lighter note, I was promoted to Supervisor on Friday. My boss got fired because he is addicted to meth so I might become the first person to become Manager with working a day as Supervisor because my title transfer doesn't occur until the new pay period, which starts on the 16th. Funny old world, isn't it?
