I woke up in a really shitty mood today. It doesn't matter why. I just did.
So I wore all black, straightened my hair and put on very dark lipstick. When I got to work, all I got was compliments.
"Did you get your hair cut? It looks great!"
"No, I just used my hair straighteners."
"It looks great!"
"Thanks."
"Wow, I really like your hair!"
"Thanks."
"You should do that more often!"
"It takes ages to do. I could never do this every day."
"Well, it looks great!"
"Thanks."
"Hey, great hair!"
Sigh.
"You look cute!"
"LISTEN! THIS IS MY FUCK OFF LOOK! I'M SCOWLING! I'M WEARING ALL BLACK! MY LIPSTICK IS ALMOST BLACK! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? CAN'T YOU TAKE A HINT? LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
OK, I didn't say that. Not out loud.
But I did go back to my desk and eat a whole bar of dark chocolate.
Stupid fuckers.
