all this speculation last night made me start thinking about how I would behave when finding out in various places and the biggest conclusion I came to is I don’t want to find out at work

I recently was discussing this with someone and we talked about how Atlanta would become one big parade
I remember when they officially called it in the 2020 election and Piedmont Park was just pure joy that night
We drove through there that afternoon and just circled the park after they called it. The vibes were immaculate
I was also wondering where the impromptu street party here would be and wondering if I would go
Prediction: you’d go
I am salivating at the thought of what this place will be like when it happens lol
Time for a sudden onset of cramps!
Girl, same
I’d leave the office. No joke. Could not contain.
this is what I was thinking. I strongly suspect a large majority of our staff would not be sad but they’re all really nice people and I’m not sure they’ll be as expressively happy as I am
And honestly, I’d probably group chat or conference with a few of you all here. Y’all are my safe space as I’m not exactly surrounded by like mindeds in my community.
You’d be one of my first calls, bud About to text you now btw!!
I definitely want to be on that group text
I'm imagining me being at a PTA meeting and having to get the fuck out quickly
It’s different in the classrooms but I can safely say our director team would have an impromptu party in the office
I’d get fired over my reax and DGAF
I work in a public school in Portland - the staff will all be partying
“I’m going to work offsite the rest of the day,” and badge out. Grab a sixer and my mouse mover and ride it out.
I think this is the move
If I'm at the Manna House (volunteer work), I'm not gonna show much of a reaction. Unless the one Trump loving old lady brings it up to me, in which case I'll shrug, and I might say, "Huh. I voted for Kamala Harris".
I just landed from a flight and was wondering if it happened mid flight what the reaction would be. I assume a mix that would end in a possible fight.
oh yeah that could be bad
Makes me super happy I’m WFH.
I wfh on Mondays so that would be just fine with me
Everyone knows how I feel at work, and also I’m the boss, the worst consequence would be pissing off whatever family I’m in the room with, and if they get pissed off about it when it happens then fuck em
I think everyone at my job would be even more openly celebratory than I would be, so I think this would kind of kick ass, at least for me personally
this is a wild position to be in a finance role. maybe not in NYC I guess
yeah, I think it’s just very specific to my little area. I’m sure that finance-wide at my entire company, my personal viewpoint would not be universal lol
As a finance guy in the south everybody else would be giving me the side eye waiting for me to say something that would piss them off.
yeah I quit my job after the 2016 election in no small part because of how my coworkers reacted
I am *really* glad I didn’t work around the same people I worked with during the Obama presidency from 2016 onward. it was bad enough at the time
At this age and point in my career my give a damn is a bit busted. Most of the things I predicted have come true. And the guys in my office don’t engage me on it.
I miss being self employed
Working from home, I’d have little stopping me from taking the rest of the day off and breaking out the good stuff.
My daughter is in New Orleans this weekend. I’m selfishly hoping for her that it happens while she’s there so she can properly celebrate
need to find out in the morning so I can properly prep the couch for burning
