don't start trippin WHEN HE WINS
To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I think we should develop a list of acceptable celebrations and behaviors we should probably avoid - at least for the first few days:
1 . No crying, hugging or shouting 'Thank you, Lord' - at least not in public.
2 . No high-fives - at least not unless the area is clear and there are no witnesses.
3. No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters.
4. No calling in sick on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too many of us don't show up.
5. We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in passing. Just try to keep from grinning too hard.
6. No singing loudly, 'We've Come This Far By Faith'(it WILL be acceptable to hum softly
7. No bringing barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the company lunchroom for at least a week(no chitterlings AT ALL! This may make us seem too ethnic.)
8. No leaving Kool-aid packages at the water fountain.
9. No Cupid Shuffle during breaks(this could indicate a little too much excitement.)
10. Please no Moving On Up music (we are going to try to remain humble.)
11. No grits, chicken & waffles and half & half for breakfast in the office
12. No Obama Shuffle on the back parking lot or down the hall to the conference room.
13. No singing loudly..."Ain't No stopping Us now"
14. No block parties circling the perimeter of the White House
If I've missed anything, feel free to add to the list. I just want to make sure we're all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home on November 5th. Now let's make this thing happen!!
