Indy article... party goers not so happy... serving staff very happy. Makes ME happy.
Check out this indy week article, especially the bottom... where the GOP party's hotel staff cheers. :-)
Can it be considered a good thing when folks who are serving others are happy? I think so.
"Across the room, the hotel staff?a dozen or so African-American and Latino men and women in their 20s?was gathered. Minutes before, in the service hallway that led to the ballroom, the staff erupted into applause, high-fives and shouts of "Obama won!"
One by one, they emerged, smiling and scribbling the name "Obama" onto the small plastic American flags lining the room's tables. By that point, the party was too thin and grim to mind the workers' political insubordination.
One worker rested her hand on the flat-screen TV, over Obama's face. Another talked of her happiness and future. And Stevie Norman, a husky 22-year-old worker in an unflattering hotel uniform, smiled wide and said, "It's just like a dream come true.""
