Appliances always break at the least convenient time. It's a rule.
I would not normally share this story, because it makes me look like an idiot, but it's funny, and I think we need funny.
Got in my car to leave work, and I realized I'd left my phone at my desk. This isn't a huge deal, because I don't really use it that much. But it meant I didn't have my GPS, so it was moderately annoying.
Came home. Changed into pajamas. Found my phone in my bra, where I had stuffed it earlier in the day and then forgotten about it.
You know that presentation that I was worried about on Monday? Well they've already scored it. We're out. The other 2 companies made it through. I thought we nailed it, at least to the point where we would compete for a piece of the pie.
Yeah, I'm crying.
Oh man. You just never know with that shit.
Maria that sucking sucks. I hope your company knows how well you presented though.
Oh no, Maria, I'm so sorry.
You just never know with that shit.
Exactly. We all left the room feeling good about it.
We didn't make it by one fucking point. One. Point.
Nanita, they do, because I pulled out the big guns for this one. Executive Directors and VPs were on the presentation with me. My grandboss just said it's not my fault.
Congrats on the promotion! You absolutely deserve it.
