I am an Idiot
At work yesterday I was giving this class to some people that were in town for some seminars on how we (more importantly I) run things in my division of the K.C. office. These people were from our other offices scattered across the country. They were not my superiors, more like my co-workers but there were some superiors like umm the CEO of the fucking company! Plus my boss walked in and so did his boss. Everyone that was involved with the seminars had to wear name tags because although we may have spoken on the phone. Most of us had never met.
So I was finishing up the class and going in to some quick Q&A when Steve from Denver had an excellent question that I explained very well. I was having an awesome class I knew everything that they asked. I mean I was in the zones of all zones. If zones have zones they would be calling them The D.
It would do like this:
Zone #1: Dude I am in such a The D right now!
Zone #2: Dude you cant loose! You are in The D!
I could practically hear the president of the company lean over and tell my boss "I want that mo-fo promoted, and I want him promoted NOW!"
Then I came to a very attractive early thirty something womam from Phoenix. I had not met her earlier in the meet and great breakfast because I was just too tired to get out of bed plus I was a little hung over from crying my self to sleep as I usually do when I drink alone. Anyway, as I was answering some douche bags question from Seattle I was making my way over to her side of the room so that I could read her name tag and get a good look at her boobs. I got close to her finished up the previous question.
And said "Yes Per-se-Phone, (which is how it was spelt on her name tag) you have a question?"
Her reply "Umm yes (my first name) first of all my name is Per-se-foney" not Per-se-Phone, Then Bla Bla Bla
At that moment I could actually hear the Earth come to a screeching halt. Like when some walks into a place naked, you can hear the sound effect of a record scratching. I wanted to rip off my suit and tie and fly around the world turning back time and get her name right. First there were chuckles and giggles then full on full on laughter directed fully at me and my moronic pronunciation of her UsuallyUsally I would piss all over myself under such embarrassing conditions. But this time was an maximum embarrassment i.e. I swas starting freak out and freak out bad. I started sweating and in a very short amount of time, meaning seconds, I was absolutely drenched in sweat, I mean all the way though my suit coat. Then my body just shut down and gave up. I passed out. When I woke up I was lying on the floor looking up at some due that was lamateurmparamedicametic back in San Diego.
My first comment after I woke up, "If you give me mouth to mouth I will kill you right hear and now!"
That was the worst day ever. Now everyone at work call me Perse-phone. But I dont answer to it.
