PMS! Ohhhh!

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) can be a very dangerous thing.
Well, at least to the people around you. (You will understand from my little story below). It turns you into this moody, grouchy and irritable creature. Every little thing annoys you.

Just like what happened hours ago when my colleague (a senior) came to me and commented on an email which I have written to our vendor. It was a candid note requesting for marketing fund – straight forward and simple. And I thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. But, being a little bit edgy today, I snapped immediately and gave him a piece of my mind – to which I regretted immediately the moment he walked away.

While having a quiet moment with myself moments after that, I asked myself why I had to be such a bitch over such small matter. He’s probably got a point back there (well, maybe..!)

It then dawned on me that, “that time of the month” is coming soon (in Cantonese, people call it “Tai-yee-ma visit”), when you get unpredictable mood-swings for no reasons. That explains the way I reacted.

Having said that, I ain’t about to go all apologetic for that nasty behavior back there simply because, hey I’m a woman, and we’re entitled to our own little mood-swings every now and then. That's what sets us apart from the male species (heheheh evil laugh!!)

But how can we let the people around us know that we're having PMS and save them the tongue-lashing or bad-attitude?? hmmm maybe I should start wearing a tag that says “Be gentle with me, I got PMS today”. That way, they'd probably leave me alone have to be really nice to me on that day!! (chuckles ....)

And here's a little reference on how to deal with PMS. (and no, you dont need to wear that silly tag!)
