I Found one!

I found out one of my co-workers at work is a Republican. I knew she got treated differently but now I think I know why that might be. I came out to her by saying that I am "living in the closet". In fact she had to plan a conference because "she was voting for Bush," (this was a joke of course). I really commend her for being out spoken in this environment.

She works in the same location as me but in a different department. It is great to encounter someone who is like minded. I remember when President Reagan died, I was out a with some co-workers to which one of my employees said

(Exact quote)
"He got what he deserved. I hope he rots in hell."


I will say the other libs around there did not endorse this belief. One did say that her statement was little out of line but then she plowed right over it him verbally and they just let her rant. She is no longer with the company, Thank God.

Note: I do have conservative friends so I am not totally alone in the universe. But at work, up until now there wasn't a single person I knew who was.

Last week with DH at a conference we were at dinner with the boss and 20 coworkers of DH. The boss said "I can't stand political correctness". And secretly I was thrilled, but we didn't want to offend anyone. The conversation just dropped there. I have no idea what politics other people were, but I "think" the boss might be a repub. He's a wonderful nice guy too.

Oh and I loved that no conversations were about politics. Sheesh in SF it's all I heard about from my co-workers in the school district. How much they hate him. They wished him death. It's all his fault.

I'm so glad I'm leaving these small minded people. I can't stand another day!
