Brief rant and Tanka Challenge

I realize I'm PMSing, and that a portion of my frustration today is entirely a hormonal/emotional upset. I just really, REALLY want to take a few personal days right now - work itself is busy but not much drama, but co-worker PG (the bitchy one) is being bitchier than usual (how is it OUR fault you chose to work three jobs? Why take that out on us? And quit being even more bitchy because we stopped even trying to talk to you because of it, dammit.) and being on the Social Committee stopped being fun months and months ago. I finally just said I was too busy this time, because I just can't stomach any more of the nonsense (and Gawd-preachin') from the person who has taken over. (I don't care that she's religious - that's fine and dandy - I care that she has taken it upon herself to provide a sermon that wasn't requested in the first place. If I want to be told I'm going to burn in hell if I don't accept that Get-Out-of-Eternal-Damnation-Free card from Jeebus, I'll start going to church again, kthxbai.)


A deep frustration
Churning low in my belly --
Seeking satori
Should not be so difficult!
Can I please go back to bed?

Tanka Challenge follow-up

Huh. My face is warm.
A strange tingling sensation
Not one bit like what
The package says it should be.
I'll just say it was the sun.


I look like I have a sunburn alllll over my face now. Apparently, when it says 'that cool tingling sensation means its working!' the package didn't mention 'the warm tingling sensation means your skin is burning!' Next time I want to use a face mask for trouble acne breakouts, I'll stick to the Mint Julep one.

Ow.
