Election Day: A Story of How Bad I am at Reading

I have quite the fantastic story to tell you.

So, I've been out of town. Whilst visiting my boothang, I got a short-term job making phone calls for a candidate for circuit court judge in this county. This entailed calling people and either bothering the hell out of them to vote for this lady, or leaving a "courtesy" message about voting dates.

I had called roughly 100 people near the end of the day, and proceeded with my last page of numbers. Phone rings, and no one picks up. Hot dog! No social interaction! Score!

I'm reading off my script (that I wrote myself), and I get a little tongue tied. Let me spell out for you exactly what happened next (italicized words are thoughts going through my head):

Anon. Man: "Please leave a message and we'll get back to you."

*beep*

Me: "This is a courtesy reminder that early voting begins Juloo 18th.... (why did I say Juloo instead of July? Haha)... and erection day is August 7th... (WTF DID I JUST SAY!??!?)... Um.... hahahahahahahha! Thanks for your support? AHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!! I AM SO SORRY! .................................................. BYE!"

I should not be allowed to interact with the public. Ever, ever again.
