9. Just One!
in particular! Kept throwing around the "n" word yesterday which really made me angry! So when he walked in this morning my computer was blaring "Proud to Be an American'! He just stormed off!

2. Not me.
None of my co-workers who voted McCain have been obnoxious about it, so I'm not about to rub their faces in it.

6. Same here. I'm just smiling ear to ear all day, extra spring in my step
There is one co-worker who is a disgusting ULTRA-fundamentalist who was always sending out the chain mails. She's mad at the world today and clearly showing a 3 year olds mentality when it comes to not getting something you want. Our paths will cross today and its not going to be pretty.

11. Same here
but I proudly put up a lovely color picture of the new president on the office wall. My GOPer co-workers don't dare say a word because I silently suffered through 8 years of their president.

3. I'm not. It feels childish to me. We now have to prove ourselves in my opinion.

10. Not me. I will hum Don't Worry, Be Happy, but I won't gloat
I want to continue to be the good neighbor that I try to be. I like it when someone finds out I am a Deomcrat and they can't believe it because "But, I LIKE you!" I like living my life to prove that Rush and Hannity are liars.

Be a good neighbor. Be gracious. Be the change you want to see.

14. No need to say anything
The mood of the right wing co-workers says it all. I talked to one today that was depressed and deeply concerned about how taxes will now go up for businesses and how this will drive small businesses into the ground. I don't see the point in arguing with these types. I replied with at least the smart one was elected, now just wait and see, it is not going to be as bad as you think.

17. I will when I get there.
I can't wait. I told one that one of us will be gloating on Wednesday, and I hope it would be me. I can't wait! She has a great sense of humor, but we cannot talk about politics. I'd rather have friends.

27. Oh God. We can't even talk politics.
There are only 5 of us, and 1 is an outspoken Republican. Her sister is a quiet Republican, just stays out of it. But it would get explosive and words that could never be taken back would get said. Other than her politics, she is a really good friend of mine, and I'm not sacrificing that.

One other woman I work with but not in our office - I just want to call her and say, 'Gloat, gloat.' And leave it at that. I live in a county with 13,000+ Dems and 3,000+ Republicans, so what do they expect? :)

18. I won't do that.
But next time I see the co-worker who kept trying to bait me in the last two weeks, I might just give him a big, big smile.

25. Same - my inbox has been awesome today
Plenty of support from international customers and contacts, several of whom I consider close friends. One from the UK called me at 1:00AM EST to congratulate me and say that he watched the whole thing play out from beginning to end - that the election was too important for the world.
