I should’ve brought a rubber…
Apr 23^rd, 2025 at 10:51pm

It’s all hubby’s fault!
He didn’t bring his glasses and we went to vote early today.
I sat in a corner where there was a chair with booth.

He hangs over my shoulder and tells me to just put 1 to 6 across the top…
I started and then realised I made an error, I was spewing at him, I said noooo I voted legalise cannabis Australia …. it’s in pencil… he thinks I should just cross it off… or rub out with my finger, I said nooo it will be void then! Nope, forget it, wish I had a rubber though because it’s in pencil Grin

My kids are laughing at my vote.
Geez, I’m sure Marla would be pleased

But could I have gone to get another form if I wished to?

You could have skipped having your kids laugh at you if you used a rubber? Hmm... Grin

I thought about it, there were huge crowds in line and booths all filled up…. I recall once doing that in Qld when we had to vote but there were all the wrong candidates on my form and not any Victorian candidates. I had to go back to correct it and the painful long drawn out steps I had to go through …
Hence why I wish I had a rubber eraser instead

That’s why I decided oh well… I’m certain my dodgy vote won’t get the cannabis party celebrating a big victory win anytime soon Grin
