I guess it is a sign of how divided our country is. This week it has affected me personally concerning my job and my relationships with my co-workers.
I have a co-worker who has been a citizen for about a year now. He is so anti God/religion it's not even funny. He has been on me and others for years with his constant hammering of people like myself. Mind you, I never bring it up ever because it's not something I want to discuss at work.
Unfortunately he brings it up quite often and occasionally I get very defensive due to his piggish comments. The other day I blew up at him which caused me to resign from being supervisor of the department. I have terminated my friendship with him at this point also. My wife is not happy about this either as she had become friends with his wife.
I cannot be objective anymore and I know if things keep going on course I will get fired. It all seems drastic, but I don't need it and I wasn't getting more pay for being a supervisor either. I've been doing this duty for 4 years and never gotten crap for it.
The ironic thing is I'm the only one that can do it! My anti freedom co-worker can't because he it technically in another department and the other one can't either due to his level and he doesn't want it. I'm not sure if I can resign!
My management has been too busy to even talk to me after I sent my 3 page letter describing why I was giving this duty up.
Did I mention he is also,
Anti-gun
Anti freedom of speech
Wants socialized health care
Anti Bush
Anti Conservative
Anti pro life
Anti a lot of other things.............
I'm done with it :dunno:
