I'm a moron

In a continuing quest to prove that I don't possess a single graceful bone in my body, I did the dumbest thing ever today at work. I got to work a little early, so I went downstairs and bought myself a Snapple. I took it to my desk and opened it, but didn't get to drink it, because my phone started ringing off the hook and things didn't calm down for about 35 minutes. I figured that by that time all the good stuff in my Snapple had sunk back to the bottom, so I picked it up and shook it. Except I'd never closed it the first time.

So I had Snapple all over my face, my hair, the desk, phone, keyboard, monitor. I laughed, sputtered, and looked around, but amazingly, nobody saw what happened. I would have known if somebody had, because there's on way that any of the people I work with would have let such an event pass without notice. I know that if I'd seen somebody else do that, I'd still be laughing. Anyway, nobody noticed, and there was no evidence because, luckily for me, I'd worn a sweater that was several shades of dark blue, and so busy that no stain could be detected. I also wore my pants that are made out of some fabulous material that completely rejects moisture, so that my legs didn't get wet and you couldn't see a stain. And to think that I'd started out in cream pants. Jeez, that would have sucked.

I cleaned all of the Snapple that I could find, but I spent the last several minutes of my shift cleaning off the sticky spots that I'd obviously missed before.
