my right hand underwent some damage at work.
within the first 3 hours at work, my right hand begins to irritate me, i figured they were just dry and applied some lotion to them...it burns. I get up to wash my hands and once they've dried down, all the "peeling" marks begin to take shape. I find my boss.
After finding our First Aid go-to person, they tell me ive had a reaction to some chemicals that have touched my hand. and its promised to have happened earlier in the day. somewhere at work. im thinking it was in the washroom from the sink facets.
We file a report and its faxed right away to Atlanta. My boss leaves to buy me some Polysporin. Atlanta says they'll cover the cost of any visits to the doctor or any medication i need. I like how they care :)
i dont know exactly what i touched, but an entire layer of my skin on my right hand has come off. my hand looks terrible. when i touch my face with my hand, it feels like my fingers have been replaced by sandpaper. it truly both saddens and angers me.
perhaps it'll clear up overnight
*sigh*

today was a weird day.
i woke up pretty late and rushed to the work for another seminar. I walked in, just as we were about to begin. Less than an hour later, we were on break time and i headed to Safeway to grab myself some lemonade :)
Within another hour, i was on my second break. and then 30mins later, i was on lunch break.
one word: tech problems. the laptops are freaking out on us. thankfully i left work at 3pm, 2 hours earlier than predicted. oh wells, more naptime for me!

I like going to Safeway (usually), because it isnt very busy and its easy to find stuff there. Its also very clean and quiet there too. But they're stuff is kinda expensive. I like how they put in Starbucks in them.
Yesterday after work, i had to stop at Safeway to grab some Oreo No-Bake Cake Mix. I went inside, found the right aisle and correct product and headed to checkout number 6 to make my purchase. I threw down a pack of gum too.
Theres a young man ahead of me. He's buying pita bread and some artichoke dip and some diet Sprite. I like how he only has 3 items. This means standing in line for checkout wont be too long. An older couple jump in line behind me. They have a cart filled with stuff, i think its their weekly groceries.
After the man ahead of me finished with his purchases, its my turn.
Hello, how are you?
Im good, yourself?
Fantastic. Found everything ok?
yes.
Just the 2 items?
mmhmmm
Club Card? AirMiles?
*hands over AirMiles card and give out my home phone number*
Ok, your total comes to $6.57
At this point, i debated with myself, Cash or Debit? As im opening my wallet, i realize the couple behind me were getting VERY impatient.
The woman was standing not even an inch away from me, i think it couldve been 3 centimeters. My reaction to this, i was kinda weirded out actually. As im filling out my info on the Debit machine, the woman lets out a *SIGH* and taps her feet. I decided to take advantage with this situation.
The purchase goes through and the cashier hands me my receipt. Just to piss off the couple behind me, i dont move. Instead, i start reading every detail on my bill. The woman lets out a bigger SIGH.
i cant blame myself, im dead tired after a 9 hour at work, and the LAST thing i need is someone flipping me off in the Safeway checkout.

today i attended another full day seminar, but this time with only 4 hours of sleep. Within the first 20mins my head kept dropping, due to my lack of sleep and energy.
thankfully, we ran into a slight technical difficulty, which lasted about 30mins. We were dismissed during this time and told us we had 15mins to kill. I was in desperate need of coffee, and i figured the closest places to get some was either from Subway (ewww!) or Starbucks.
Normally i dont buy coffee from Starbucks, cause im very loyal to Second Cup mostly. But today, i went against my moral values and bought a Caramel Macchiato, i guess was alright. It kept me alive until my lunch break.
