My tea party coworker


always a very crabby guy. Slams his phone, pounds his desk with his fist, swears often, blows a gasket at the slighest thing that goes wrong around the office. Rails away at Obama and democrats on an almost daily basis.

Today he has simply walked around with a sullen, blank look on his face, and has barely said a word.

Tick, tick, tick....

If you hear about an office shooting rampage in suburban Minneapolis in the near future, keep me in your thoughts...

the small business owner, who is worth millions, would be bitching up a storm in the lunch room....

My ex-supervisor, who is Republican himself, won't even eat lunch in there anymore.

I can only imagine what the owner would be saying to me.

Poor guy seems to think he has to sell for millions by the end of the year. My heart bleeds for him......don't spend it all in one place dude.

He may get hurt wandering around in deep thought during the next few weeks, before his massive stroke.

She still truly believes that President Obama is a communist, socialist Kenyan Muslim. She also truly believes in the 're-education camp' conspiracy. She's kind of like the corporation's version of Orly Taitz, but crazier. We have a great degree of distain for each other. It is a very uncomfortable work situation.

I was off, today, and have no doubt there will be lots of my like minded friends heading to my desk, tomorrow, to crow about the election. I fully expect this woman will have some sort of a melt down, before the day is over.

7. I worked with a guy like that but the insidious thing about him was that

He could be funny and friendly one day and come in like a bear the next. And if the subject of politics came up (even casually like someone saying they were going to vote) it was apt to start a tirade. He was so ANTI-Bill Clinton and even harder on Hillary. He had a picture of her on his desk with a witch's hat on.

Once he went on a tirade (I have blocked out the reason why) and I thought the veins in his neck were going to bulge to the point of exploding. His face got so red, the other ladies in the office and I thought he might be on the verge of a stroke. Would you believe he came to work the next day like nothing happened? Scared the hell out of us and then acted totally normal the next day. I'm retired now and so is he, thank goodness. (He was an retired Marine working part time in our office for a little extra money so yeah, he was VERY familiar with weapons.) Glad I don't have to worry about THAT any more.

10. My boss is a big "Obama is the devil" person who brings politics in to EVERY DAMN THING

I took my vacation this week...scheduled it weeks ago. It was either going to be obnoxious gloating if Romney won or supreme bipolar ranting and sulking if Obama won...I consider this a "mental health" break.
