Do you ever wonder what others say/think about you? I do. I think about how people talk about others, and it makes me wonder what they say about me when I'm not around.
Like today at work, when two of the girls were laughing and talking and hitting on the cook and making dirty references. I stayed out of it. I kept working; they left the tables to me. The cook made a comment that I was the smartest one around since I wasn't involved in any of the non-sense. The one girl said, "Kate's got a halo on her head though....no offense." "False," I replied. I'm not going to judge. I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Is that truly the impression I'm leaving. I hope not.
My mother called me a snob because I told her I wasn't interested in being friends with my co-workers outside of work. Apparently I was right in being slightly stand-offish; I'm not as naive as I once was. The cook asked me out today.
Those other waitresses are way interested in his cowboy jeans, cowboy boots, horse riding and rodeo skills. I'm not. Call me a snob, but I'm not interested.
If word gets out, I wonder what they'll think of me then.

I think that you have a really awesome opportunity to display and share your faith with your coworkers. No, they're probably not the kind of people you normally hang out with, and you don't even necessarily have to do that outside of work...but "the only bible some people read is you." If they get the message that they're not worth your time, they could assume the same thing about the God you represent.
I've been in similar situations with people that don't share my beliefs or morals but with whom I had to interact regularly. Every time I've been humbled and learned a lot from the people that I initially dismissed. Not to mention the opportunities that I was given to share my faith as a result.
