I see encouragement, which they're totally supposed to do
I don't like the thing they're encouraging, so I wish they wouldn't do it. How is that unclear?
I have no issues with individual people wearing any amount of makeup for individual reasons. But I think the idea of an organization ostensibly celebrating women's power by telling us all to wear lipstick is really fucked up.
I don't like the thing they're encouraging, so I wish they wouldn't do it.
Oh, okay. I just didn't see the harm or pressure in it, so from where I was standing, I wouldn't have cared if they were encouraging people to do it--I'd just skip it myself. I was over-reading into you wanting them to stop. I thought you meant they were doing a bad thing, not just a thing you weren't interested in doing (regardless of the cause they're talking about).
Yay shrift! And did you ever email about the military thing? Because I haven't seen one. I had lunch with my dad (which involved a long discussion of some admiral I'd never heard of) and it reminded me.
I just won a Yankee swap! By "won," I mean that what I brought was the most popular -- traded the most times, and ultimately taken by the person who could choose anything -- AND it cost me $2.50 at CVS just prior to the party. AND I ended up with microwave popcorn which I will totally eat, and a scratch-n-sniff book, which makes me laugh. Sweet.
Jesse. You have like the best attitude of any human being I've ever known. You're my favorite Cowgirl. Which, saying a lot, considering how much I love Cowgirl Creamery cheese.
Thanks, guys!
I guess that means you're succeeding in raising your visibility?
I hope so. That's a work in progress, but it's definitely an incentive to keep working on it.
Oh, BTW--there were apparently profuse apologies in the restaurant on Monday by the skeevy-guy-with-a-hat.
Skeevy-hat-guy needs to work on not being a cautionary tale.
shrift, CONGRATS on the raise and bonus!! And keept it quiet from the family, Ms. Moneypants!
And did you ever email about the military thing?
Not yet, but I should do that this evening. Thanks for the reminder!
