funny/weird work story

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Here’s a funny thing that happened at work the other day. It requires a small setup for the story to make sense.

I bought two blouses a few weeks ago at the mall and they forgot to take the ink tags off of them. I went to the mall and had them removed, then went right to work, so the blouses were in my car.

So I’m at work, and I’m wearing a white cotton blouse, a blazer and chinos. I am a VERY jumpy person, even without caffeine (always have been- even as a kid). I’m carrying a mug of coffee and walking out the office door, and a co-worker approaches at the same time. I did this unreal jump in the air/arm jerk motion and quite literally threw the coffee all over my blouse. I was laughing because he didn’t do anything to scare me- I was just jumpy and spazed right out.

The best part was, I had class (I teach) in 10 minutes, and instead of my day being ruined, I simply went down to my car and got out my other white blouse and didn’t miss a beat. The coffee came out of the cotton shirt, and no harm was done.

I thought it was a funny thing to happen on the one day I actually had a spare blouse at work. :slight_smile: My co-worker felt terrible about it, even though I explained that it wasn’t his fault. He bought me lunch anyway!

:slight_smile: I thought you were going to say the cofee stain was actually quite stylish and many people commented on your classy new millennium fashion sense.

Or that the coffee stain looked like Jesus’s face as if he had spilled coffe on himself and wiped his face on it (sort of a shroud of Tourin… or in this case handtowel of Tourin or linen napkin of Tourin). And then all the people in your office carried you around like a religious icon and prayed to you, making small altars of office supplies and sacrificing the computer mice before you to gain your approval.

I think i need to drink my coffee BEFORE I start posting in the morning.

I have a 1994 Joer Furr sweatshirt (“The Internet is full - Go away”). It’s got some coffee stains, but isn’t smelly enough to wash yet. The other day I was interviewing a guy we were looking to hire, and one of my co-workers asked in (mock?) horror, “How can you interview people in a shirt with coffee stains on it?” I suspected he was more concerned about the writing on the shirt than the coffee stain :slight_smile:
