Think What You Wanna Think

I again slept late and woke up late today. Noticed some red marks on my neck, sheesh dont know where I got the rashes from. Nevertheless I put on nice white blouse, got my bread and started my usual rush ride.

Some meeting got me occupied whole morning with my team and boss. (10+ people). Having me seated and listening to people speaking on a meeting has become so painful nowadays, my attention span is very bad. Can you just cut the crap, I wanna go back to my seat or take a power nap, even if it's at the ladies room I dont care, as long as it is newly cleaned.

The napster teammate suddenly messaged me, 'How was your weekend'
I answered, 'quite good, the usual'
He said, 'Looks like you had so much fun'
I answered, 'Yup'
Then he said, 'Hmm better be careful next time :p'
I said, 'I cant get you'
He said, 'You should know... never mind'

After a little more talking, I asked him directly 'Are you referring to the red marks on my neck'. He just smiled and said 'just be careful'

I was a bit shocked. From what I know, we werent close, none that I remember?
They are rashes my dear. I wouldnt deny it if it was true. Had it been true, I probably would have used better clothing with turtle neck collar to cover up, hell we are all way past the tweetums age of feeling 'proud' to get such souveniers isnt it. And yeah, in the team I am the only female of Oriental origin. And this guy is the only unmarried male, who has the guts to ask me such crazy question. He said he just voiced out so I could be aware what the rest of the guys in the meeting might be thinking... I wonder if I should be annoyed or be thankful that he told me coz I totally didnt care initially. Ok fine, I'd probably make a good joke for today.

He reminds me of another instance when I was avoiding another one from his race. 'I think my fave brand of jeans would look good on you'. ???

When you have a company full of brainiacs, expect some topak people.

Times like this remind me how racist I can be...
