You’ve seen those scenes in sitcoms where the adorable lead character asks the new guy at the office “So, what do you do here?” And then that “New Guy” answers, with a slightly bewildered look on his face, “Well, I’m the Senior Vice President of the Western Region over Sales, Marketing, Finance, Engineering, and Human Resources.” And the adorable girl -with great shoes and a new, sky-blue, courderoy shirt-dress- starts laughing because she thinks he’s kidding. And quickly, although not quickly enough, she realizes that, in fact, he is serious; he really is the Senior Vice President of the Western Region over Sales, Marketing, Finance, Engineering and Human Resources.
Yeah. That just happened. In the breakroom. While I was getting my morning hot chocolate. Oh my laws, I am so embarassed.
And, to make a rocky start of my day even rockier; I somehow managed to stab myself with a bic pen and am bleeding from both arms. Awesome. (Note: I did not attempt suicide with a ballpoint due to the obvious faux pax with the Senior Vice President. The pen incident happened first.)

Both arms? How…?
I am agape.
Comment by RA 2007 December 6 @ 10:32 amYou really have that kind of Senior VP? What kind of hellish company do you work for? Also, sorry about the bleeding! but it sounds like a great dress.
Comment by Jess 2007 December 6 @ 10:42 amThey hand out the title of VP to everyone and their bros these days. Overused. Probably doesn’t mean much. I wouldn’t worry about it.
Comment by Lou 2007 December 6 @ 11:08 amThat happened to me once too – at a an office holiday party. Oops! (And by “that” I do not mean the stabbing of the pens)

Comment by Andrea 2007 December 6 @ 6:02 pmIt’s funny. It really is. You gotta admit it. And one day very soon you will be able to laugh.
