Oh, sugar
It's a weird week. Not only am I digging out from the avalanche of stuff they left me, but we're now short-handed as there's a major work thing going on. Both my boss and DW are getting pulled away for this. I went from not working last week to working almost all the hours this week. Well, as the manager said, at least it's helping me play catch-up.
BBC popped up by my workstation late yesterday, as in around when the last room renter was finishing up (and thankfully it was around 6 PM, so not too late; for Tuesday, it's 7:30, and I'm looking at that tonight), and looked alarmed. He went, OMG, you appear to be having a reaction to something! Go look in the bathroom! Now!
...Um...okay... So I'm picturing my face as being all red and bumpy. I looked in the bathroom mirror and...saw nothing alarming. What the heck. Back outside in the main area, I said to him, what, it looks like my forehead. He said, no, I see your forehead every day; something's up! He then insisted on taking a picture of what he was seeing. Yes, okay, I have some bumps on my head, of a standard forehead color. Believe it or not, this is perfectly normal for me. I see my forehead multiple times a day, too.
This was when I admitted that I'd had two doughnuts. One of our favorite clients was on a do-good mission in honor of a young girl who'd passed away, and out of kindness brought us a dozen doughnuts. And, well, knowing I was working late, I succumbed. I'm fully aware of sugar being bad for me, and as such I don't tend to eat a lot of it, but I figured this was for a good cause. And that cause would be my coworker taking pictures of my face. Who knew.
