OMG, the elections were a clean sweep!

I've been working in politics for over a decade & never have I seen anything like this. 5 of our 7 seats were open this year (one due to a midterm resignation) & every single incumbent was voted out of office by almost a 2-1 margin. Totally unexpected by us. We're all just shell shocked. My job is about to seriously change & I don't think in a good way. I'm about to enter the 7th circle of hell & I'm a-scared. :-(
 
Laura,
I thought you were hoping that the current administration would change, and that it would be a good thing. Am I confusing this with a different change of office?

Obviously, the public isn't happy with the way things were being done...but you weren't either, in many cases. Couldn't this change be a good one for you?
 
There are two new guys who are trouble for sure. I did not want them to get elected, I certainly did not vote for them (altho I did vote for a couple people on their ticket). Both of them are "consultants" who work out of their homes & are already in town hall fairly regularly, now they're gonna be here every day, all day. Both are serious conspiracy theorists--they think corruption & graft are going on all over the place here & they already think it's their job to be "watchdogs." Both have their own agendas & don't yet understand the process & the fact that they can't come in like gangbusters trying to force their campaign platforms through regardless of legalities & consensus. Both of them hate my boss & will no doubt make his life miserable (no more 5 hour workdays for him LOL), which in turn will make my life miserable.

Remember the mechanical bull in Urban Cowboy? That'll me. They'll both play John Travolta.

ETA: Also, remember the harassment problems I had w/the mayor? Well, his business is still right across the street & there's no professional relationship anymore. Another one of my concerns--I'm really afraid he'll come on 10 times as strong now.
 
Lauramax,

Take a deep breath. It may not turn out as bad as you think! Crossing fingers for you!;-)
 
Well maybe if you're lucky the lady who hit her head on the paper towel dispenser will end up leaving. Didn't she also get hit by a file cabinet or is that someone else?
