I make a point of trying to get along with everyone at work. Yes, some of these people are annoying, boring, rude, etc., but it helps me get through the day. Most of the time I just half tune them out as they're talking, nodding and "hmmm"-ing as needed.
However, I just want to tell them not to talk politics with me. You have your side, I have mine. It makes for bad blood to start ranting then expect me to agree, especially since I do actually read the news, receive multiple emails each day on various topics, and make my own decisions from the information I receive, instead of just parroting my spouse/friend/parents/whatever.
Thankfully, no one here talks about sex. They understand they can get written up or fired for it. I'm very visual. If I get the picture in my head of you making the "oh face" I will never be able to get rid of it; that is an image I DO NOT WANT!
