I would love to just enjoy, but I'm surrounded by conservative zealots at my workplace. It would have been nice to have some folks to celebrate with, but instead I ended up having a fierce argument with my boss about the election. Everyone where I work is so glum as if their favorite football team lost a game over the weekend.
Fortunately, I found a handful of like minded Obama people with whom I could share my excitement, but they are way down the hall from me. The right wingers share cubicle walls with me.
I guess I expected to be able to quietly bask in the glory of a brand new day knowing that I voted and helped elect a president that I believe in. Nope! Instead, I was put on the defensive. The whole thing has gotten me really bummed.

time for Americans to unite regardless of who you voted for

Every time I hear "President Elect Barak Obama" I cry. For those in your office, they are the past and we are the future. Be happy celebrate.
This makes me want to wear those tacky american flag t shirts... perhaps there will be a new industry for patriotic clothing??
