The lead-up to Election Day is making me very glad not to be in the US. I hear it's even worse than usual. Enough of the news still gets to me via Internet, personal and local channels that I feel fully informed of all I need to know, without feeling like I'm being swept away by rising hysteria. I know I would have a hard time not being swept away if I were there, too, because the results of this election are likely to affect me significantly, in ways that were not always true for many previous ones. (Healthcare, basically.)
On the topic of over-busy-ness, the problem with working in an office is that you also have to deal with others' expectations - which I realize is true for writers too, but in the case of offices, some of those others have direct control over your paycheck and continued employment.
