Everyone here is just acting like its another normal day and have been since election day. Like sheep who just accept whatever outcome the media tells them. I work in oil and gas in Texas so its not like I am in a blue state or industry. I just cannot fathom how asleep some people are. I am here physically but my mind definitely is not. All I want to do is be at home with my monitors open and searching frantically for news and knowing if it hits the fan that I have everything I need right there. Maybe I should go home just in case. Last thing I want to do is try to drive 45 min if "chaos" does break out today.

Wish I could upvote twice, that’s what I’ve been trying to do- be a better spouse, parent, etc.
