Do you scratch it or just leave it alone while it annoyingly itches?

I just found out from my dad he feels itchy and scratching some too. So it HAS to be a generalized reason, some sort of contact dermatitis causing this. It cannot be a coincidence two humans, one dog all have similar symptoms. My sister said it has to start with the laundry most likely. Either the washer isn't rinsing out the detergent right or possibly a new detergent. I know it's not a new detergent so it has to be the way things are being washed you would think. There's just no way all three of us would have these annoying symptoms all at the same time without some sort of connection.

Yes, that's the normal thing to do, adjusting vacation days according to work!

Wow, wait, which one told the boss he is out of the team or out of the company and what was the precise reasoning?

Your boss discussed with that guy you can't stand and not you?!?!?!

Man, sorry this is so screwed up.

OMG. It is THEIR job to go there, not you! That is for sure! Why are they forcing you to go there? This is bunk! So they are annoyed/jealous the CEO chose you and they want to hang you out to dry? Not fair! Wow, I am sorry you have to deal with this. Did you already write the email? Let me know how it goes. I want this week to end for you already so you can get away.

YAY! Congratulations on receiving your Master's Degree! What an accomplishment! You are a professional singer... that, in itself, is amazing. Where did you tour in the US? How did you like the US? Awe, sorry about the girl situation, the first girl and the other as well. Anyone else you are interested in at the moment? It's great that you are testing the waters, dating around though because that's the one way you will find your true love... it will happen, I know it.

I've always wanted to go to Ireland. It sounds amazing. Glad you've had some fun this summer. I hear you about having a dog... they are the best. I have a little Havanese male named Buddy and he's a year and a half. He's my everything. How old is your collie? I love collies!

This is all incredible stuff. You are such a creative talent, Amont. I could only dream of having the creative skills that you have in this area of art. Where do you get your creativity? Do you have a lot of creative people in your family/extended family?

So great to hear from you!

I try to not touch my face because my hands might be dirty and with the barrier problem I have this will cause even more breakouts and inflammation. I use facial mists to calm my face. On my body I do not scratch because my skin is so dehydrated and dry that it will get red and sensitive in seconds. And then I will be left with wound. So no scratching for me. My mother is the same way.

It's definitely not a coincidence that all three of you have itching. Definitely not! Yes it has to be in the washing! Do you think that it's a general problem with the washing machine or it was just this one time.

secretk

Exactly! If you have work to do, you have work to do. If I want vacation then I will just finish my work before the vacation.

A Bulgarian guy who was in that joined team basically told our boss (it's his as well) that he is either out of the team or out of the company. Well I am not sure what he told the boss, but I know what he said to the team - they are slow and there is lack of professionalism there.

Yep. I would expect the three of us to discuss.

. Definitely. I requested a day off on Friday as well. I am sick and tired of this and I plan to start my vacation one day earlier. Let them deal with stuff.

They are forcing me to go there because they are jealous. I mean the guy I can't stand wants me to write the email and the boss is like "You are the CEO's favorite". If this is not jealousy I do not know what it is.

I did write an email, but I have not sent it yet. I told them that I need time to do it. I also already talked to my German boss and we will discuss this between us before sending any email. I motivated him enough by explaining to him that we are losing valuable Developers because of this project.

He promised that he will contact me once he is in the office. He is still at home. I hope that he will help me. For now he has always managed to help me so we will see whether he has more positions in this game than me. I will keep you posted.

jediwands

I'm the same way and even have some battle scars from scratching in the past.

General problem because this has been going on for weeks now. Buddy started about a month ago. My dad said he noticed... about a month ago. Same time period for me too.

jediwands

Exactly.

Oh so he's pissed at the people in France?

Yes. Did you guys discuss today or no?

Good!!!!! That's great! How long do you have off? So glad you are getting away from this for a while very soon.

jediwands

It's jealousy and sick immaturity.

Oh I hope so, yes keep me posted.

Have you considered changing jobs? With your education, advanced degree, I would imagine you could have your pick of jobs. This is always an option if your work situation gets too stressful or you want to move on just in general. You HAVE options.

secretk

Sucks that you have scarring from that but yeah dry and dehydrated skin heals way slower compared to oily skin.

So it might be about the washing machine? You said that it's not new detergent so then we are left with the washing machine itself.

secretk

The other approach is a foreign concept to me.

Not so much pissed as not wanting to work with them .

Between us no. We had discussion with the guy that wanted out of the team and man in the end they turned it out to a lunch conversation . I told them that this has nothing to and they can't speculate and assume things without asking the person. The HR decided to stay silent for this argument.

I have Friday and the whole next week. Yeah I need it.

secretk

Exactly! Luckily my German was quite honest with me and gave me great advise plus he helped me delaying sending the email and I have his support now so we will have to come up with something.

Apparently my boss (and not the guy that annoys me ) started also writing email on his own so it seems that he is less jealous .

That's definitely option so yeah I am also thinking about this. If it continues this way I would definitely start looking for another job.
