WTF?!

So I am slightly upset and outraged (and even a bitembarrassed) that my supervisor just came up to me and asked me to remove my Obama/Biden Sticket from my desk. I put the sticker up this morning and didn't think it would be a problem due to the fact that everyone else adorns their workspace with pictures, sports teams, and other various crap. Apparently, my sticker has offended someone and they went to the supervisor to complain. I am so apalled. I can't support a political nominee with a little sticker, yet signs that say "I don't repeat Gossip... so listen carefully.", and Phillies Bobble Heads, and other stupid crap are okay. Now one of my super's reasons was that because there are people with differing opinions and they don't want it to cause a conflict.... Soooooo what about sports fans? There are NUMEROUS FREAKING TEAMS AND NOT EVERYONE LIKES THE PHILLIES OR THE YANKEES OR THE FLYERS OR THE WHO-EVER-THE-FUCK-YOU-SUPPORT.

I'm upset. And annoyed. And they shouldn't have me on the phones right now...

That's what you should have, or should now, said/say.

Go to your supervisor and complain that as a resident of FL, the people supporting _______ offend you, as you feel they are specifically targeting you as an outsider, yadda yadda.

Try to focus this on the person you most suspect, if you can't get these gossiping fools to tell you who it is directly. They can't tell you not to support something IMPORTANT and let others support football.

*edit... not resident of FL, but having been born and raised.

yeah that sucked.

I was SHOCKED today when a co-worker suggested to me that she thought it somewhat inappropriate for me to wear an Obama pin on my jacket.

At such a liberal school... all the parents are supporting Obama, and if they weren't, they wouldn't say so.... whatever... a law firm isn't the same as a school, but they get to call the shots.

At my old job, religious symbols were banned from public display.
