Today, while teaching English in Korea, my boss gave me a birthday present from her and all of my co-workers. It was a really fancy box. It had very nice wrapping. It had a pretty bow. It was kind of heavy. It was 6 bottles of dandruff shampoo. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it’s my birthday. At work, at my desk, I found this beautiful gift-wrapped box and a card that read, “From all of us, we really care about you, and hope you like your present!” I opened the box. It had body shower gel, deodorant, soap, fragrance spray, and “frizz shampoo.” Hint taken. FML

Hmmm. Next time you get a chance, sprinkle some fake snow into their lunch and onto your shoulder and meander around the break room. I'd pay to see the reaction.

YDI for expecting or even getting a gift from your co-workers, even if it was on your birthday.

Wow, they got you 6 bottles!? I would have thought that you would have gotten the hint with only 1 bottle...

Yeah, it seems shitty now, but it's gonna be awesome when you realize you don't have to buy new shampoo for months now.

Note to self: Korean culture values brutal honesty. Bring dandruff shampoo. I know how it feels, man... Hey, supposedly one of the causes of dandruff is the main ingredient in certain kinds of dandruff shampoo. Weird, huh?

Go to Pohang, give it to the Marines who live in tents.

The ingredients of anti-dandruf shampoo can cause dandruff because your skin starts to need the moisturiser in it and then if you go to another shampoo without the ingredient it makes it come back.
