Mangergate2010 Update
Since I know you've all been waiting with bated breath, here's the work situation - the menorah is still in place on the whiteboard, but the janitor (who is VERY religious and actually has an annual pass to The Holy Land Experience) started other x-mas decorating in the office. Part of the decorations were a bunch of those tiny cheap stockings. He got some glitter glue and began to write names on them. One of them said "God" and my co-workers were saying it was a stocking for god and the baby jesus (yes, really). Well, I expressed my dismay on twitter and someone suggested I make a stocking that said "Goddess." So I did.
A few of the people in the office walked up to the front area where I and the other ladies in utility billing work and saw the goddess thing and laughed wondering who "Goddess" was (yes, really). I replied back with, "You know, how there are gods and goddesses. I figured if there was one for a god there should be one for a goddess as well."
I went on a break in the afternoon and came back to find that both the god and goddess stockings had disappeared. SUCCESS! So the key to eliminating religion in a workplace is to make your super religious co-workers uncomfortable with other religions until they take theirs down!
Also, just a note to any Doctor Who fans that also love teefury, there is a very awesome (and ridiculously scary) design up for today -
