I hate it that there are people here who are hurting, sick, frustrated, and out of sorts. I hate it that my boss (who is a former classmate and friend of mine) said that she wants to hear my side of a one-sided political discussion that continues to flow at the office. I told her that I'm an Independent, that I have views that span both sides of the aisle, and that I have to try and see which things are more impt. to me at the end of the day when I go in to vote. She just can't believe that I'm not falling on the floor, ready to vote for her personal fave, so she'd like to hear what "other people" (read that tongue in cheeky as "idiots") think. I don't want to turn our office/gals night out in DC Friday into some uber-political shitfest. I just want to go out, enjoy dinner on the firm's dime, and not have to think. What the heck is so wrong with that? I don't want to be the weird one, but thanks to some introspection in the past several weeks, I feel like I'm better prepared to go head to head with her if necessary. Poor thing, she doesn't know about line 2 of my signature because we never "go there." However, she's brilliant, and this could prove to be the intellectual death match for me, one that I may truly enjoy. (See? I can't even decide whether I want to debate or not! How the heck am I going to pick a President?) (typo)
