I’ve always considered myself informed on the subject of politics. However, a conversation with one of my co-workers left me wondering if perhaps I’m clueless when it comes to all things political.
“Sarah, do you know where my caucus is?”
“Um… did you check your pants?”
“I’m trying to be serious here. Will you just stop being a jerk and help me find my caucus.”
“I AM. In fact I’m going to ask the receptionist to page your caucus to the front desk right now.”
“Seriously, Sarah, stop being a jackass and help me. You’re the political one, not me.”
“Do you mean politically correct? Because talking about your caucus in the office is not PC at all.”
“Fine, I’ll look it up online. Do you know which voting district I’m in?”
“Voting district? Ohhh, you really did mean caucus… like for delegates and stuff. So you weren’t talking about your wiener?”
I had absolutely no idea he was referring to THAT kind of caucus. We rarely discuss politics and just last week we were trying to name his junk.
I think it was a fair assumption that he was talking about penis, not politics.
It’s also a fair assumption that the HR department is going to call me in to discuss work appropriate conversations… again.

I’m pretty sure that had nothing to do with voting at all.

Why on earth would he assume you know anything at all about nerd caucus?
I really really really want to work with the nerds. Can you have a “bring your friend to work day”?
I work with a nerd. Oh, wait! I mean, I married a nerd!
