Looking thru voting materials tonight.
Apparently I signed up, at some point, for Permanent Vote by Mail status.
I don't remember doing that.
Apparently Permanent Vote by Mail Status means I am supposed to have received an Official Ballot in the Mail...
This did NOT occur.
Jeff says there are many stories about Vote by Mail or Absentee Ballots going missing/never arriving, in at least 4 different states.
I am allowed to vote at the precinct if I bring my unvoted Vote by Mail ballot (you know, the one I didn't RECEIVE...) to the precinct.
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Shitting. Me.
Okay, the Contra Costa County Elections website has a phone number to call. I will call at 7 am and ask, very politely, exactly what the fuck I am supposed to do in order to vote.
... thank you, Livejournalians, for a place to throw my rant out into the universe.

Step two is to go to your polling location, state that you didn't receive your VBM ballot, and ask to vote provisionally.
The county will simply verify that you didn't vote in another manner, then will count that ballot. Make sure you get from them the phone number for you to call 28 days after the election to verify that your vote was indeed counted. :)
And now, I go to bed. Gonna be a zombie tomorrow, but an awesomely efficient, kick-ass-inspector zombie!

And you can confirm your polling place at Smart Voter, or at CC county website.
