13. I am the Queen of embarrassment...

At one job, I was having a lot of stress, so at lunchtime one day I went out for a lesson in progressive relaxation and meditation.

When I got back to work, I was so relaxed and uncoordinated that I ended up flushing my sunglasses down the toilet in the ladies room. Had to call our janitor and explain to him what happened. He somehow managed to get them out and kindly asked me if I wanted them back. Uhhhh....no.


At another job, it wasn't what I did, but what someone else did...the boss was out of the office for a bit one day, so there were only the bookkeeper and myself there at lunchtime. The UPS driver showed up and asked if he could use our bathroom (the only one we had) so we figured he's going to take a pee and leave.

NO!

He had a nasty case of diarrhea and stunk up the bathroom and the inner office and then the smell drifted out to the area where the bookkeeper and I were. The bookkeeper left after lunch, and I was there alone when the boss came back and, smelling the disgusting stench, assumed I had done it. Of course, I couldn't tell him that the UPS guy was responsible because he wouldn't have liked that we let someone else use the bathroom.

sigh...
