It's that other time of the year again...

Yes, that time of the year. Though most refer to it as Chinese New Year, I prefer to call it payday. However, these large amounts of money don't come without a price. No, they come with condescending comments about your height (both vertically and horizontally), clothing, chinese linguistic skills (or lack thereof) and in my case, hair. Yeah, I'll be counting how many times I'm told my hair is curly (as if I didn't already know that) or asked if I permed my hair. I think I'll tell them I did.
