Story Circa 2003
It was a rushed morning, I was running late to work. I was working for a computer consulting firm. Plenty of face time, working with clients. I was required to do a good job and look nice. Everyone wants a clean computer tech, especially with our rates!
I was out of hair gel, and this is already a very bad thing. My hair is a giant cotton ball. I was wearing a white dress shirt and black pants. I looked like a waiter from the '70s.
I was in the office reading my email and drinking my coffee. Getting ready to start my morning routine. Just before I was heading out from my office to my first client of the day I decided to finish off my coffee.
There was only a small amount of coffee left in the bottom of the cup. I threw the cup back and realized it was still half full. Clearly this is not going to end happy.
Coffee ran all over my face and down my white shirt. I looked completly ridiculous. I put on my coat and started the day. The drink spilling, cotton-headed, 1970s waiter.
This story sounds like me a few times - I have several times had to wear a jacket all day due to spilled coffee - even had to drive home to change one day during a plan period because the coffee on my pant leg could not be hidden by my jacket -
ReplyDeleteI've done that same thing with coffee, tea, Dr. Pepper, Margarita, just about all beverages. But not very often...just often enough.
ReplyDeleteI hate mornings like these... they are hard to recover from
