Title: If you have a second to click…(part 2, the finals!)
Post by: ademas on July 26, 2006, 11:34:58 am
The  “My Bad Boss Contest” finals start today at 12:00 noon EST (about 30 minutes from now!)

This is the contest that my dear friend entered, and our votes a few weeks ago got her through to the semifinals!

http://www.workingamerica.org/badboss/?appState=listStories&ord=featured .

Her story is "A Dying Mother Is No Excuse" by Selfish Employee, and she's just a wonderful lady, and she's had a very tough year. If anyone ever deserved to win a vacation, it's this dear friend.

I'm voting every day, but I could sure use some help again!

Thanks for the votes (and the thread bump, Teresa!)
I was just going to let it drop off the page, as I really don't want to be a nuisance...and there's still 12 more days to the freakin' contest.  Overkill, if you ask me...but I sure appreciate the help.)

People,

To coin an Australian phrase, I suspect we are up shitters ditch on this one.

The margin between us (Dead Mothers) and our only real opposition (Millionaire Cat) seems at this stage too great to equalise, let alone exceed. Naturally I'll hold off on final judgement until the close of polls, but I think we've been done by a superior campaign.

As an old political war-horse let me say, it's not a disgrace to fall honourably on the field of battle.

We've done well.

Keep voting!

102 votes down...one last bump.  They won't be announcing the winner for a few days, and people have been disqualified in the semifinals...so you just never know.

Vote one last time!

One way or another...like Matty said...it was a valiant effort.

ps.  I noticed this post has been read 898 times.  Does that mean we're only responsible for that many votes?  I thought it would have been more.

We're 92 votes behind at this stage and given the time left for polling and the restrictions (ie 1 vote per day), I don't like our chances.

Nevertheless, hope springs eternal!
