You don't just get to write your name and title on it???
This seems fair.
{WS} it sounds like a perfectly reasonable reaction. Now *I'm* dreading the pressure test.

I was just filling up my bottle at the water fountain near the bathroom. As I was putting the cap back on, someone emerged from the cubicles near the bathrooms, walked past me, and said, "You look fantastic!"
I've never officially met this woman in my life nor exchanged any words with her, just seen her around the office.

Well today turned out to be crap. Something I was working on got reviewed and there were errors in it. Not major ones, but still. My responsibility, I totally accept that. But to make matters worse, my boss decide to point out my "sloppy" ways in front of other people. I am still wishing the ground could swallow me whole.

I was just reading a letter by Andrew Carnegie recently, and for a minute, I thought that he was crappy speller....until I remembered he was a spelling reformer. I'm pretty sure he would have spelled "thought" "thot".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think this is an interesting question. What was your first online handle? I think mine was phoenix, at university. I'm not embarrassed at all. Now, if computers had come along in my life five years earlier I'd have gone online as daleyfan, and that would have been blush-inducing to recall.
