Emotionally not having a good day. Devastated by the election results, and that's all I want to say about it. To quote Bert Brecht's "Schweyk in the Second World War": "Drink your liquor and drink your beer/But talk no politics in here."

Thus, did not have a good day at work. Hearing a cashier say there's no such thing as ADHD ("Mick", one of the supervisors, said something jokingly about him having "an ADHD moment" and he has the condition), just because the condition hadn't been identified when she was a kid, felt like someone had come up to me and shot me in the face. I had a touch of it when I was a kid, but I grew out of it. I suppose, on that note, there's no such thing as infectious disease because the microbes that cause it weren't identified until the 1800s.

I feel like crawling into a hole and hiding from the human race for a while, so I'm using this time to get very much ahead on my novel.
