Short Term Disability

I think I need the help of a Human Resources Professional.

Penelope (the pimple) has grown in size overnight. I can see her out of my left eye. I swear I didn't touch her or mess with her. I know better. I have left her alone, yet it looks as though there is a bruise to the left of her. Maybe it's her shadow?

I'm too ugly to be around others in an office setting. No one should have to go be in public with such a thing on their person. It is embarrassing for everyone. People who look at me are going to ask me about the growth on my face. I'm mentally fragile as it is. I need at least 14 days off of work (paid leave, no less) for her to go away and not traumatize me.

I wish I could photoshop this thing out of my life.

PS- I'm working on the Holiday header. Daddylicious pointed out that my Multi Slacking description was not there. I believe he was trying to give me a hint that it needs to be incorporated into the message.

I think Penelope needs to be written up ASAP, this is a fire at will state, so let her go now... this stuff cannot be left to linger or it will only get worse. Bring her to my office if you want.. I am getting good at this crap!
smooches!

Burt's Bees Blemish Stick. Works Wonders. Smells horrible. Get some!

Header, looking good! We both have new "looks" today. Look at us go!!
I HATE those pimples, they are mean.
Weird but helped: I put cortizone ointment on mine the other day and it was GONE the next morning. Try that tonight. ok

Noticed someone put Burt's Bees blemish stick...yes, it helps lots and smells like black licorice (sp?). Go to that health food store in the Arlington center...that's where i got mine.

Best way to get rid of a blemish is to crush up an asprin mix one drop of water ( to make a paste) and apply to said blemish right before bed. It will be gone in the AM.

Man does everyone have some great advice ... I'll have to try some of those. Aspirin, interesting concept.

I like your new profile picture.

Don't touch it. I have a new friend between my eyes as well, I put some "medicine" on it.

Now I have a huge infected scab between my eyes. It isn't pretty.

LOVE the new header though!! Great work!

The header is adorable. The whole page is so girly!

I hate pimples. I didnt have any kind of acne in highschool, so randmonly I think I pay for it now as an adult.

Tea tree oil. I have 3 Penelopes right now. One smack dab in the middle of each cheekbone, and one on my right temple. I look like a freak of nature. They have a life of their own.

Bought new bottle of tea tree oil today. Hoping those puppies will shrink right up!
