Thank god I voted early. I woke up feeling both barrels of the New Sickness one of the boys has. To top it off, he didn't want me in the bed with him after I gave him medicine after 1am so I went and slept on the couch.

Last thing I'd want to do whilst sick and after a terrible sleep is my civic duty.

I voted early so I wouldn't have to wait long on the day, then I went with someone who didn't vote early and spent over an hour in line with them anyway.

Damn, the worst of both worlds.

Same here, even though the line was longer than I thought I feel like complete rubbish at the moment.

I haven't voted on election day for the last couple. And I haven't done it in Melbourne. I'd hate to see how long it would take here when absentee voting took so long in the country.
