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.)

Blue votes in the middle of the night cause she cannot sleep.
And it gives me something to do.

1245 votes and a comfortable lead over the opposition! Let's not, however, grow complacent.

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!
MtD

I hope we can pull this off....but the numbers are not good at all.....She is still behind.
Sending good vibes ....
Vote!
-
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.
Thank you.

If everybody has teh people in her/his addressbook sendan e-mail to vote, we could win this.
United we stand.

Is today the last day? Time flies.
I've been voting every morning when I log in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
robert
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!
