fRIDAY rANDOMS

Whoops my caps lock was on when I first typed... it was work related, but, no, I wasn't yelling at anyone.

My random, my deodorant hasn't been working great recently.  It's a natural Tom's one and for some reason I feel stinky at work.  I might have to switch back to the non-hippie stuff for awhile.

I have to switch around 3 or 4 deodorants. I wear a different one each day, and I have to reapply at work after lunch. Degree shower clean has been working well lately, as well as Old Spice Citron.

My random: I only heard about "Bernie Sandwiches" today and I cannot keep it together at my desk. It's killing me every time it pops into my head.

Last night, my grad students brought up the outrage over the Super Bowl halftime show and Beyonce's "Formation" video.

We ended up spending almost the whole 3 hour class having an amazing discussion on racism, white privilege, and microaggressions. I was so damn proud of them.

Writing an important email to my stupid boss about something I feel very strongly about and know I am right about, and "Who Run The World?" popped into my head.

I felt it was appropriate :-)

I've been waiting to hear back about wither or not I got a job I interviewed for 2wks ago. I emailed the hr rep a couple of days ago just reiterating I was still interested if the job and asking if she could tell me what the next step will be was still available, I've heard nothing, it's nerve wrecking. I just want to know either way.   I didn't get this damn job either!

And plus I'm going to see Trevor Noah tomorrow night w/hubs, the bil and sil, and I can't stand my sil. So it'll be a 1hr & 1/2 of having to sit next to her in the theater and then going out to dinner w/them after. Uggghhh. 

[Vespasia]

downtoearth I find that I have to change deodorants every other year or so no matter what kind I use. It's like my body suddenly becomes immune.

I made my first ever candidate-specific donations today. I split my Ebates check evenly between national and local campaigns.

[bimbi284]

Stupid boss came in my office to talk about the email. First, he gently insulted me by saying he doesn't know what I'm asking (though it was very clear), and then tried to shoot down what I was proposing, but I stood my ground, and got what I wanted, though he's still crispy.

He came back a few minutes later, and said, "thank you for the email, it irritated me at first to be honest, but I get your point now."

Damn right, asshole.

Now my theme song in my head is, "all I do is win win win no matter what..."

I think my mother is actually concerned that I'm going to die of hypothermia during my 5k tomorrow.

I walked over a mile for cupcakes. It's gorgeous here today.

Cupcakes improve an already lovely day.

My husband sent me roses at work. There's been a thread on one of my groups about how couples who do big public displays of affection probably have something wrong with their marriage, that they're insecure, that they wouldn't want their spouses doing that for them, blah blah blah.

I just laughed when the flowers showed up.

[2curlydogs]

My valentine for you ladies.

Does laboring over a handmade thing mean the same thing? Because I worked really hard on that decoupage box. If H doesn't like it, Imma keep it! lol

I'm waiting until Monday to fill up on heart shaped peeps. And apparently only CVS carries orange creme ones.

I just convinced my H that if he votes for Sanders in the primary, we are going to end up with President Cruz.

[josieposy]

We're watching the Triumph Election 2016 special on Hulu. I have tears from laughing so hard.

ETA: Okay now I'm not sure how I felt about the college student segment. But the rest up to that point was pretty good.

Deadpool was so awesome!

But...I'm going to side-eye strongly anyone that takes their younger than 16 yo child to see it.

Just from my FB feed, I'm really excited to see this.  The best post was a comment that it was a funny movie, but they got the most laughs watching the people who brought their young kids stampede to the exits five minutes into the film.

Really regretting the decision to drive to my client visit in Iowa this week - ended up spending way too many hours in snow storm delays on the highway.

She's not outdoorsy and doesn't do anything athletic so the idea of being outside in the the cold voluntarily is completely foreign to her.
