sisabetMarch madness is upon us. At work we can wear sweatshirts or T-Shirts today of our favorite NCAA team in the tournament*. It was diplomatically stated in an email - "favorite" team, but this place is a sea of blue, so you kinda know that favorite means UK.
I don't happen to have any UK sweatshirts that I can find - although I did want to wear a sweatshirt today. I mentioned yesterday that I could dig up my LSU stuff and I was greeted with shocked stares and one of the PIP reps pulling me aside and telling me quietly that I probably should not do that. I don't get it - I mean, it isn't like I said I was going to wear a Duke** t-shirt or anything.
So everywhere I look, there are people in royal blue. I've already had two people congratulate me on trying to support the team today - I am also dressed in blue. Inadvertantly, I really didn't think about the color of my sweater this morning - I just like blue. My blue is not quite UK blue, it is more of a cerulean ;) Cerulean blue is like a gentle breeze... and I have![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bonibaru to thank for putting that phrase in my head, but to be fair, "Pusher" is never really out of my mind. It just kinda hangs around in the corners, pokes it head up occasionally when I need to channel Scully's "You Bastard!" and then goes back to the shadows.
People are in a great mood today - this time of year is like Christmas for so many people. They even brought in Krispy Kreme for us this morning. I'm down with anything that keeps me in fresh doughnuts. Go team! Yay.
*if you are outside the U.S., I don't know if this makes any sense to you. I'm referring to what is basically the National College Basketball tournament - if you live in a town that does not have a pro-sports program, college sports can potentially become very important. In a nice normal town, that is. Lexington is not normal. Hell, this state is not normal. College basketball is extrememly important, even if you don't follow sports, you know what is going on in the SEC at the very least and this freaking town shuts down during University of Kentucky games.
** Okay, it's been ten years, over ten years, and we still hate Duke. Normally, I could care less about this whole UK thing and hell, I probably like University of Louisville more at this point (and I have to be very careful who I say that to at work) but even I can't stand Duke. It's a thing
