11/5/08 Janine's Vote "Those Darn Instructions" 145 words
Mary sat at the volunteer seat to welcome the day's voters.
A few hours went by and still no one came to vote.
At the end of the day, she locked up the building and went home very sad.
"Hi Honey, I'm home. I was at the polling station all day and not a single person showed up to vote. What do you think of that?"
Marvin looked over his newspaper at his wife. "Perhaps it's because today is Monday and people don't vote until Tuesday."
"Hmmm... The note was very clear. It said all volunteers should report to their polling stations on Monday to get ready for the voters. It didn't say anything about Tuesday. I'll just have to speak to these people about their instructions. They should be more clearly written."
Marvin buried his head back in the paper and said, "Yes, Dear."
