The company I work for is piping this in to our TVs...

The large Financial firm I work for (go figure huh) generally just shows interfirm information on the closed circuit TVs that are in every room and scattered amongst the cubes. Today they are piping in the coronation coverage for the entire day. I really wonder if they would have done this for a Democratic President. :/

1. Leave the office, NOW!

Next thing you know, it'll be nothing but propaganda piped at us every day by our corporate masters....though my looking at this event is more like the "two minutes of hate" in "1984".....

2. Can you turn it off?

I would. Tell them that it's distracting you.

4. Its on cspan, which is always on in my office.

Luckily no sound, but I catch a glimpse every now and again. Its still enough nationalism to make my head want to explode.

7. Sorry... I'm way to scared to answer that.

If you even get a speeding ticket you have to report it to the compliance department. No way can I divulge the name of the firm. Though if you look at where I'm from there aren't a huge list of large financial firms. *shrug*
Fear of retaliation, yah gotta love Amurika.

10. ROFL!!!

We got in huge trouble one time for moving the ceiling tiles and unplugging the tv's from the plug hidden up in there. ;)

I lost 20 bucks in the election to my boss who is about as far right as you can get.

11. Work is hard for liberals now days.

I'm looking for a job with a liberalish company in Indiana (no luck) because I can't swallow my tongue anymore at work.
