You guys will never believe this

I know the risk of posting this.

It's incredibly stupid if it is what I think it is.

I'm having.......

a sunrash...

OMG!!!

I think it's a sunrash because it's the first time when I've actually sat in the sun after the past few months and this week was the only week that had loads of sun and warm enough for us to sit outside.

It's also the first time I'm dressed light for the weather in months. And this is what I get...

It must be that...

SEE!!!!

(my poor hand...)


WHY??!??!!

What the hell is happening? I practically grew up UNDER the sun all my life...and now I'm what, allergic to it already??!?!?!

I might just burst up into flames one day when the temperature creeps up high enough later in the summer.

Talking about summer, this year's summer is much better than last year's. We do get the occasional rain here and there, but at least this week has been warm and lovely. We even had a new park bench erected outside the pantry and we're all having our breaks out there! (And that was also how I got the rashes.)

I might be allergic to the sun but my melanin production is still as good as I remembered it. (Good news!) I was just exposed to the sun for an hour or so...and I'm getting tan lines already...HAHAHA!

Yes...tan lines of my watch and from the sleeves of my shirt, that is. -_-" But hey...at least I won't be getting sunburn that easily yet.

One more day to go...

To the end of the week!!!

I'm so broke but payday is not until Monday and yet I'm thinking of going out tomorrow...*sigh*

OK...should stop until then...be good...yeah, right.

ANYWAY.....

I just had my appraisal today. Wasn't expecting both my bosses to sit through but they did anyway. Most of the feedback I had wasn't unexpected, but some parts were better than I actually thought I had done.

MuaHHAHAhahHAHa......

Well, so I'm not working my ass off for no reason then. Besides the fact that I just LOVE my job, LOVE my working life, and LOVE earning and spending my own money, I do get recognition as well. Almost everyone at work, from top to bottom, knows who I am not only as me but also for what I do. (Although my bosses and colleagues are convinced that there's no one who doesn't know who I am, but I still think there's always that possibility given the fact that I haven't been working much with the people in the other site.) I love the responsibilities, relish all the hard work I've put in, and enjoy the recognition that I'm eventually given.

I feel like my potential is certainly being developed right now. (Definitely glad that I got this job.)

Been given a few special projects to work on, new objectives, exploiting my capabilities, motivation and drive thoroughly. That's it! I'm always up for a challenge. The only sad part is that I'm not there long enough to be eligible for a payrise...

But then again, if I do well for the next 8 months or so...achieve all my objectives, exceed and excel in them, who knows...I might get better a healthier pay package. :)

What? No one can ever complain for having paid better, right??!?

I need 5 seconds...

...to scream.

ARGHHAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK...much better.

Why? Coz it's only Tuesday and I'm feeling like I'm having a hell of a long week at work. Halfway through something today and I felt like I have to drop everything that I'm carrying and stand there and scream. It was that bad.

It's not like I don't like being busy. On the contrary...I enjoy when I have loads of things to do. But these past weeks were like hell. There was even hardly enough time to breathe before we have to progress onto something else. It's only at the end of the day where I have an extra half hour when I can sit down and finish everything up. And surprisingly, that's my favourite time of the day. And by any luck, I always get lifts home as well. Hehe...

Oh...I know now. I think it's my pms...that's why I'm feeling like I wanna die. Hmm...

Lu la la~

(Coz I have no idea what else to say.)

The day today started normal...nice and bright morning, but had to start raining just when I was about to step out the door. (At least it's not some heavy downpour, so I wasn't soaked by the time I got to work.)

Then the gossiping starts.

Followed by more gossiping...AND more gossiping (by people who don't know when to stop/shut up).

Come lunchtime, about 10 of us went to the pub for some birthday lunch of one of the guys at work. Had some nice smothered chicken at half the price. (HAHA...first good thing of the day)

Then it was normal the rest of the afternoon...until home time.

Was hardly out of the vicinity when I met someone from the other building, went to the pub again, got a free drink, and chatted for a while. (Second good thing of the day.)

Then I found out, (in one way or more) I've got a reputation now...HAHA! (Third good thing of the day.)

**************************

On another note...I'm having my appraisal this week. Wonder how it'll be.

It's almost time...

...for that time of the month again.

I can so feel that it's near (I know it is but then it just makes it worse when your body tells you the same thing as well).

I'm getting PMS as well...not in a happy mood...having anxiety for no reason...and stressed up even when I'm not at work, when there is no reason to.

Even had to resort to comfort eating today, don't think I can get past today without having a decent dinner. It's not just the usual craving that I'm feeling (like the I'm-working-so-hard-but-I'm-not-even-allowing-myself-a-well-deserved-dinner sort of excuse...) but one that I'm feeling so deprived now that I need to eat.

And I'm so tired...fatigue...the most obvious tell-tale sign...

I need to go to bed...
