I mentioned that The Boyfriend is a Cubs fan and he sort of sighed, "It's so sad. Why are all the pretty girls going with Cubs fans? It's not right."

All last fall (and a chunk of January '08), I work registering people to vote for the democratic party and after a few weeks you get to know that everyone can be put into a few different categories. They all made the same mistakes, asked the same questions, and had the same arguments. I worked in a team with my boyfriend and I was good at convincing the Republicans to vote for Obama and he was good at convincing everyone else. It was easy to figure out what category everyone went into before they stated their party affiliation. By the end of it I was on auto-pilot.Genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719564864865245424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747267274088670063.post-18579424004336851072009-05-16T10:25:00.000-07:002009-05-16T10:25:00.000-07:00I also work with the older population and I looove...I also work with the older population and I looove this post.

I'm a physical therapy aide at a university hospital, and most of them are in what we would call the "geriatic" stage (60-100). You literally have hit the nail on the head. <br /><br />As an adendum to the "flirt" category you have to talk about the fiesty old ladies too. You probably haven't expirienced this because you generally only talk to them about tickets. The fiesty old ladies are the ones who are up front about the fact that even thoguh they are old, they ain't dead.<br />I had a patient once that had the following exchange with my boss (I'm not making this up!)<br /><br />Boss: Good Morning!<br />Fiesty: I like that scrub top you are wearing!<br />Boss: Why, thank you!<br />Fiesty: I'd like it better if you weren't wearing it.<br /><br />This same old lady would turn her body to watch a male nurse walk away. I LOVED HER!<br /><br />Hope you and Alex are having a great time!Brittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337169024631157617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747267274088670063.post-65291265362001887982009-05-16T05:51:00.000-07:002009-05-16T05:51:00.000-07:00The joker sounds adorable.
