16. Are you reading my mind?

Oct 2012

I've oftened whined about my own work situation. I'm the support person to four, very rich Republican asswipes. I try to laugh my way all the way to the bank, but it gets hard sometimes.

They seem to be intent, in particular, this time around, on dropping comments, etc. Thus far, I've kiddingly reminded them that it's not polite to discuss politics and religion in a professional environment, but they have the upper hand.

It's hard to sit here day after day after day and listen to their bullshit being spewed. If Romney wins, I fear it will be unbearable. Please, Democrats, get out there and vote for the sake of those like me and the poster above! I'm in a red state and there's no way my vote will really make a difference, but I will vote!

I almost wish there was a way to just divide the freaking country. I would love the opportunity to move to an area where there are like-minded people. The Republican crap that I see around here is not only frightening, it's unbelievable, and it's absurd. And no one around here seems to care one iota. They just want their own taxes to go down. To hell with everyone else.

Sorry to whine, once again, but if it weren't for DU during the work day, I'd pretty much be a zombie, so thanks to DU for being an outlet for me!
