Pour some *sugar* on me
Yesterday I was sitting and eating lunch with my colleagues, like I always do
I always sit at the same place and eat with everyone...one boss on my left (at the head of the table) and my other boss directly across me
Its a wonderful time of the day when everyone comes together and shares stories of their day and their lives
We eat from each others lunch boxes and complain about the office canteen food
We pull each others leg making someone the butt of the day's joke
So, yesterday was just like any other day
I was nicely dressed in a cream top and a black skirt with a slit that ran up my thigh
And I sat sipping my after lunch cup of coffee like I always do
My boss across me decided to pass a sarcastic remark (like he always does) and I replied in sarcasm (not like I always do...)
He continued to play with the yellow stress ball and finally swung it across the table directly at me
The ball spun and hit the coffee cup in front of me
The coffee cup tumbled toward me
The coffee slowly but surely spilled right all over my cream top and skirt and trickled down my legs
I sat in SHOCK
I'm usually the Drama Queen and react to these situations BADLY
But there I sat in silence watching myself drenched in coffee in a brand new outfit
I left the room and walked toward the washroom where I stared at the disaster that was me
Not knowing where to start, I stripped myself bare and washed my clothes in the sink and dried them under the hand dryer
Only to emerge half hour later damp but as good to go...
I'm proud of myself for the way I reacted
Pour some sugar on me guys, not coffee
