must be nice! I work in an office that's predominately conservative. The office manager is a loon. Background-info: She's a catholic who goes to mass almost every day at lunch. There's also a don't ask don't tell feel about being a democrat in this office. In my department of 6, I'm the only left leaner....My supervisor jokes that I'm the "token liberal"
On Halloween, one of my democratic leaning coworkers dressed up as Palin (She pulled it off really well). She was awarded the best costume at our monthly birthday celebration and the office manager gave out the award. As she handed it to her, she said, "I hope we have good news on Tuesday!". One of the other young women in the office said, "I don't think you guys are on the same team". An uncomfortable hush settled over the break room. The office manager said something polite and left. After the my coworker left birthday celebration, the office manager came back into the break room and asked another employee, "Is <employee name> really that stupid? Does <her supervisor name> know this?" ahhhhh.....the joy of living in Texas.
