 The poll closes Thursday night, and it's really close. So if you've been holding off making your voice heard, now is definitely the time to do it!!

Funny coworker story. Well "funny"... 

Of course there is one who irritates me now. Because that's how it works.  :) 

This morning she was talking about all of the problems with the country, and how she loves her son "unconditionally" but she just has a problem with him being gay.  She was also angry that one of his friends called her "cis-gender", which she said with an over the top shocked voice that obviously expected everyone within earshot to ALSO be amazed that "the kids" were using words like that. 

But those weren't the things that *really* shook me.  Those things I'm used to from her. 

No, it was later in the day when she was talking about how bad music was these days, and talked about how when she was young that she loved all kinds of music. For instance she LOVED when Mick Jagger and Run DMC recorded "Walk This Way"... sort of puts the rest of her opinions in context...

Um...she obviously can't tell Jagger and Tyler apart, LOL? I'd love to see what she'd think of the Bowie/Jagger remake of Dancing In The Street...

Oh boy. We thankfully don't have any loud coworkers like that, but I know some are not Democrat, and that's fine. We try not to talk politics ... the kids do enough of that for us.

Yeah . . . people who have to make a point of stating how "unconditionally" they love their children, probably don't actually exhibit unconditional love. :P

And if your coworker doesn't like the term cis-gendered, she would really hate my friend's button that says "f--- the cis-tem" ;)
