I have been having an ongoing problem with a coworker I call "Freckles," and his tendency to go all religious, and work religion into conversation or the class I'm helping him teach, whenever possible.

My LJ friends have been very supportive.

Today, though, I wore Wolf's Heart.

I got the courage to broach the subject with a couple coworkers. One told me she finds him abrasive and she has the urge to tell him to STFU every time he cracks on how skinny she is.

The other informed me that when word got around I'd be working with "Freckles," the response was "uh-oh -- conflict," because people thought our personalities would clash.

Today was also the least offensive he's been to me in four work days.

I think I need a bottle of STFU.
