the Air Force.

I write repair manuals for test equipment for a defense company. Now that makes me somewhat of a pariah here on DU on occasion; I'm not one who can go along with the idea of totally dismantling the entire defense apparatus of this country. It would be nice if we could, but we can't and I live in the real world.

And needless to say I'm surrounded by freepazoids all eight hours of each day. In fact, right before lunch I was involved in a five-way argument with some of my cow-orkers; pardon me, co-workers. They (four of them) were talking about how one of their moms had just gone through the signup thing for the medicare discount drug card and found out how worthless it was; another talked about how much his dad's medication had jumped recently.

Well, they were crowding up my cubicle and I told them to SHUT THE F UP because I didn't wanna hear any bitching from them; you guys voted for his ass; I tried to tell you but all you could do was come back with Hitlery jokes. Kicked 'em out of my cube and they haven't come back yet.
