I work in a relatively small office, there are about twelve of us all together. And although I work for a non profit organization, I am surrounded by for-profit people. They are all Very Important People, meeting with other Very Important People doing Very Important Things with lots of Very Important financial arrangements and such.
Which is why it was bad — VERY bad — that while a Very Important conference was taking place, the following words could be heard yelled from the small women’s restroom we have in the office:
MOTHER FUCKER
Yes, that one is hard to recover from. It’s difficult enough to saunter out of the single restroom when a meeting is in progress just across the narrow hallway. I always feel like saying "I wasn’t taking a dump, thank you very much, merely washing my hands to prevent the spread of germs" or "I was simply powdering my nose" (in an affected British accent, of course) or something like that. Geesh, going to the bathroom is embarrassing!
So to leave the restroom after screaming an expletive such as ‘mother fucker’ is, well, like totally ruhlly RUHLLY embarrassing.
But that’s what happened today when I realized that today is yet another CD#1, as we start this process all over again, again, again, and so on and so on and so on and so on…
Edited to add: Did you know that the word ‘fucker’ is actually in the Typepad spell check dictionary? That’s awesome! I’m actually feeling BETTER after discovering that.
nothing like starting your period at work and screaming mother fucker for all to hear. be good to yourself. enjoy a nice bottle (or 2) of wine this weekend.
