1. I've been laid off for over a year...
So I won't have a problem avoiding them.

10. Ditto.
Besides, most of the people in my field tend to be left-leaning.

2. Yes, and No
I'm taking the rest of the week off, but it does not have anything to do with my coworkers who, if anything, will be in mourning.

3. I work in avionics systems production ....
While you might think such a pursuit would translate into some extreme RightyTightyLand, that is not the case ....

Furthermore: Most big companies wont tolerate much political bickering .... It is unproductive ....

I wont lose a second's worth of pay on their behalf ...

4. No, but it will be a tough day
I know that I'll be teased relentlessly tomorrow. To me, this election isn't funny, and I'll spend the whole day around people who will make me feel worse. Dreading the cube farm....

6. I am about to head to work to the right wing stronghold
I work the nightshift. I am girding my loins.

7. If I was working, I'd just smile sardonically and say "Good luck with that; the ball's
in your court now."

12. It crossed my mind
Not so much about avoiding the conservatives, but just because i'm sick at heart at what Americans have chosen tonight.

13. No way, fuck those motherfuckers.
Luckily I work in one of those places where people don't talk politics much. But I'm definitely steering clear of the breakroom that has CNN on all of the time.

14. Nope, and I work in the energy bidness, too.
I'll just tune in HayHouseRadio.com and stay positive and tune any gloaters out. However, in two months there, no one has once brought up politics at work, so I feel safe from any problems :)

15. No.
Fortunately for me, I work with all Dems. We'll be consoling one another instead.
