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

Today, I went to a work party where we had a Secret Santa. I gave a nice set of beer bottles with glasses. When my name was called I naturally picked the biggest gift. I got groceries. I now have dog food and men's body spray. I don't have a boyfriend or a dog. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me acne cream for my birthday. 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.

I'm guessing you won't have to buy shampoo for quite some time now, I hope it smells nice :)

If you think that possibly they might be giving you a hint -- but you're not sure -- wear a black t-shirt and scratch your scalp. Do you have dandruff? I think it's a nice gesture. It's so much better than a crappy pen or some useless trinket you'll never use and be forced to display.

Not so bad. Just an innuedno that someone needs to wash their hair more often.

I wouldn't take it personally. asians tend to be more conscientious about dandruff, largely because it shows up so much more easily in our hair. and in countries where everyone has the same hair color/texture, they'd likely assume everyone has the same issues with their hair too.
