tan line of all things

I can't believe I have a tan line. My hands and upper neck and face are exposed. I wear a long sleeve mock turtle neck rash guard with sunglasses and cap so that is all that shows. I work one hour out in the sun and one hour in the air conditioned shack. Hour on/Hour off for 9 of the 12 hours. I guess my SPF 70 met it's match here in Kuwait. I reapplied every time I went out. Keep in mind that I am pasty white, so the slightest little freckle creates a tan line. I'm not tan!
So my new boss said he talked to his boss and my new admin job is a done deal. My supervisor still has to release me tomorrow. I hesitate a little but I think it will be ok. My new boss covers a priority area, especially with the new threat level here with the 6 terrorists they caught planning to attack the military installation here. We are being cautious during Ramadan. I promise that I am being cautious too. NO Worries! It's really business as usual for me.
I really hope to start working the admin job soon and get out of this sun! Oh, the humidity has started. Apparently it will come and go for the next few weeks. All the while, the temperature is going up. I thought the sand storms were bad.. ugh. And you thought humidity would help me breathe and moisten my nose and eyes a little - oh no, not here in Kuwait. Again, their humidity has to be the worst humidity on the planet. It's horrible and going to ramp up to horrendous soon. It chokes you and coats you in sweat from head to toe and in every crevice.
I'll leave you with that.
