I find it funny how you can tell someone’s political affiliation by their facial expressions the day after an election. Undoubtedly the democrats were frowning in 2000, and ‘04. Now it’s the exact opposite, with liberals grinning from ear to ear. I guess I’m an odd minority because I disagree with nearly everything Obama wants to do, and I’m still smiling. Maybe I’m just a blind optimist. To clarify, John McCain didn’t receive my vote either.

I’d like for an entire week to be taken off so we can truly celebrate what it means to be able to vote. It’s something that occurs every four years, and it’s a miracle really. We get to decide through our voice who we want to run our country.

Though it’s a miracle, it’s something that truly divides us. The office, and workplace is where you can see it come out. When you work 8 hours a day, it can’t be helped that political views will be made known. You see different types. Some will openly let you know how they believe, some like to keep it to themselves. Some just like to stir the pot, and bring about a reaction from heavy believers (me).

Today on post-election day, why not try and keep it civil in the workplace. No one likes a pundit, and we all know that the politics you believe in are ‘right’. There’s no need for the fuss is there?
