Weird, Awkward, Interview and Work: Lookin' good

Lookin' good

By racoonface - 19/04/2009 15:17 - United States

Today, it was lovely outside so I decided to tan outside. I burn pretty easily, so I put on sunscreen. I fell asleep on my side, so when I woke up, I had a massive burn on only one side of my body, with sunglass lines. Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I'm going to go in looking like a racoon. FML

Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML

Today, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. FML

Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. FML

Today, I was really badly sunburnt, so I put on some after-sun. The only type we have has glitter in it, and now I look like a sparkling tomato. FML

Today, I decided to lay out and tan. I fell asleep and got sun burned and bitten numerous times by mosquitoes. If I scratch my itch, the burn hurts terribly. If I don't scratch it, it itches terribly. FML

Rash decision

By caiti - 06/08/2009 01:25 - United States

Today, I had a job interview and things were going really well until I noticed the woman interviewing me staring at the inside of my elbow. I am recovering from a poison sumac rash, and each spot looks like a puncture wound from a syringe. I was dismissed before the interview was over. FML

Today, I'm so pale that I managed to get a sunburn while sitting in a bus. FML

Today, it was boiling hot so my boyfriend and I decided to sunbathe in the garden and ended up falling asleep for a few hours. Not only is my back so burnt that I can't lie down, I also have a white hand print on my upper back where my boyfriend had left his arm while we slept. FML

Today, I decided to try a self-tanning lotion my friend had recommended. I put it on, and decided to take a nap. I woke up later and checked myself in the mirror, expecting to see a new, more tanned version of myself. I didn't. I'm now orange. FML

Today, I got a spray tan. The lady asked what shade I wanted to be, and joking, I said the darkest. She took it seriously. Now no one can recognize me, and I have work tomorrow. FML

rule of thumb: stop tanning. oopma loompa's are not cute. neither is skin cancer.

Try Noxema. It smells kinda funny (eucalyptus), but keep rubbing it in like lotion (not using is as a facial wash) as often as you can. It'll still sting tomorrow, but if you use about as much as your skin will absorb, it will be a LOT less red. that, and it'll help clear up any other blemishes you might have. It's about $5, but totally worth it. I used it last week when I had a terrible burn. Good fortune.

Embrace your pale skin, I don't understand why everyone has to tan! At least i commend you for not going to a tanning salon...people like that look fake as shit. But really, pale skin is beautiful, I'm Asian with somewhat pale skin and a golden undertone and I actually like how I look in the winter when I've lost the summer tan better than the summer tan. No tan lines, no burns, no skin peeling from burns, and no need to change makeup tones since my skin doesn't change shades as much as it does in the summer!

You should try the Cinco Eye Tanning System

Do these morons not know what 'fall asleep' means? The OP didn't want to sleep, it wasn't planned, it just happened.

you think thats bad? I went skiing in Utah and got 2nd degree sunburn on my face (yes it exists.) It took a few weeks, but the last blister peeled off today. FML

My dad's colleague did that, and got sun poisoning all over her body. So at least that didn't happen to you. That sucks though :(. I prefer to stay pale...if I even try to get tan in any way, I know I'm going to fail miserably and it won't go away for weeks. And it will be in a really noticeable place, cause that's just the way my luck works.

hahaha, that wasn't so smart, now was it? if you burn easily, you shouldn't try to tan at all. And tanning in general is terrible for your skin.. mh-hm, you should have known better!
