   The funniest thing was the first time orange won, I was one of world news editors for Malaysia's biggest English daily.

   I remember staring at the numerous screens in the newsroom, everyone was staring too, and thinking, what the hell, man, what the hell.

   Then I had to build the pages and produce the paper telling it to you guys and not to panic (or something lol) 😆

   Uh, I am glad I am not doing it today?

     @liztai I'm just getting sick of his voice and his face! I don't think the US really would have gotten much better, but I'm so sick of being force-fed their shite. Argh.

     @liztai God I would've hated that.

     I'm not a journalist but working in social and content means I have to at least have an overview of what's trending etc. So it's shoved in my face even if it's not industry relevant 😅

     But yeah. Must be worse working in news!
