Corporate girlie with a backpack. Yep, I have to say, to hell with fashion. I’m cold so I don’t want to complicate life by minding what goes with what anymore. So I went with a backpack and layered my top.

It seems like I wasn’t the only one who was cold. Most people were wearing down jackets. Earlier today it was 11 degrees.

I didn’t bring a thicker jacket or any Heattech because I’ve never been cold in HK. The coldest I’ve been in China was 4 degrees in Shanghai and Xi’an and I’ve come prepared for that.

So I said I may be chickening out—I don’t have any leg to stand on if I opt out of my current situation. Like how do I propose that I would just go on freelance mode???

To make matters worse, my manager is seated next to me. 😭 I HATE OPEN PLAN office setups.

How do I proceed? How to keep my sanity?
