Stupid Corporate Cows.....


Stop raining on my Obama-parade!














Ok, so today I'm at work and I enter my clients office to see the two of them, Cow #1= Property Mgr. chewing cud w/ Cow #2-Asst. Prop Mgr., at the window over-looking Michigan Ave. They look rather suspicious and are talking quietly.

To those of you are not Chicagoans, Barack Obama is planning on having an Election Day event in Grant Park here in Chicago. This is HUGE for Chicago fans of Barack.

Here is the conversation that transpires:

Me: Hey what's up? There a parade or something out there?

Cow#1: No, we were just overlooking the street discussing this whole Obama election day thing.

Me: Oh yeah. That's gonna be awesome!

Cow#2: Really? You think so? We were just saying how there might be implications for the building.

Me: Really? Negative implications? How do you figure? The building will be closed.

Cow#1: Well it might get a little crazy.

Me: Yeah, I know. That's awesome. (Long pause after receiving blank stares) Oh. You mean crazy in a bad way.

Cow#1: Yeah. There are a lot of people in the northwest suburbs who are Republican you know.

Me: Ha ha. You're joking right? What are they gonna do? Jump in their cars and leave the safety of the burbs to come protest Obama amid thousands of jubilant supporters. Ha. Right.

(Another long pause)

Cow#2: I don't know, it might get out of control?

Me: Yeah, because normally mass riots occur after elections. What are we really getting at here?

Cow#1: Just that there are a lot of Republicans who will not be happy. That's all.

Me: Uh-huh. Right. Well, I think it's gonna be great! (inner monologue yells: Stupid Cows!! Enjoy your pity party in the suburbs! hahaha)


Do you see what I have to work with people? Ugh.
