Category: I spilled something |

Co-worker: (standing outside my office) Is the internet still down?
Me: Yup.
Co-worker: So, what are you doing?
Me: Cleaning up the mess I made when I tipped over my coffee creamer.
Co-worker: Damn girl. You spill something everyday, don’t you?
Me: Yep. I do. No matter what else crashes in this office, my clumsiness will always be up and running. I’ve accepted that and actually find peace in it.
Co-worker: As do I.

    Okay Hilldery - this day is getting worse as the hours creep on, so I’m thinking PITCHERS of margaritas are in order. So, somewhere in Kentucky around 8pm Central time. I’ll be there. Anyone else care to join us?

    So, I was eating carrots earlier. And am wearing all black today. Yet? I still managed to somehow spill on myself. And it doesn’t look like carrots. How?…

    I also assumed that the co-worker was female. Now I am curious as the factual version as It changes the way the audio plays in my head.

    What is it with network outages today? First three hours I was in the office today? Nuthin! I hope your Monday got a little better :-)

    Spilling? No, not me. Except on my clothes. Every day. Sigh. At least now I know I’m in good company.

    How do you survive when the Internet goes down? When it’s down at my work, we all cry and whine so that someone fixes it STAT!

    I always have to act like it’s not big deal so that people don’t think that I am on it all the time. But the spilled coffee creamer! that is something to cry over! It’s a precious commodity!

    hmmm I assumed co-worker was female.
    I spill stuff every single day of my life. It just adds to the “seperated at birth” theory for us.

    I spill things all the time. In fact, I just spilled tomato soup on my shirt. Dry clean only, of course.

    So, what time should I expect you in Kentucky? :)
