You know how VH1 has “Best Week Ever”? No? Well, I don’t watch it either, but I do know that it’s a show on Vh1 😉
This Wednesday might have been my very own “Worst Week Ever.” For serious. Since we had a dinner that evening, I didn’t go into work till 10:00 AM, but by 10:35 AM (25 minutes before our first of four meetings that day, oh by the way), I spilled my entire Tupperware full of soup down myself. I’m talking an “in my lap, in my crotch, down my leg” kinda spill. After near tears and 20 minutes in the bathroom, I was ready. Kinda-sorta. I found if I strategically placed my legal pad in front of myself, while dually ensuring that no one was walking behind me, I could mask the fact that I had spilled AT LEAST 10 ounces of soup on myself. After Meeting Number One, which consisted of me hoping everyone in our meeting couldn’t smell the stench of tortilla soup wafting off of me, and then my boss telling me it looked like I had puked on myself, and then making the 80 mile round-trip journey to go home and change, I arrived back at work with a fresh set of clothes on. And really, other than the remaining three meetings we had, in addition to having to work till 9:30 at night, the rest of the day wasn’t too terribly terrible. However, dumping soup all down myself most definitely qualified this Wednesday as “Worst Week Ever.”
The moral of the story? When you’re having a shitty day, just think that it couldn’t possibly be any worse than my very own Wacky Wednesday. I mean, unless someone died or you got fired or something. But if you’re just having a regulation shitty day, then mine was totally worse. Totally.
OH MAN! A whole bowl of soup!?!?!?! That is pretty horrible! Was it tomato based tortilla soup? The closest I’ve done was spill an entire travel mug of steaming coffee on my crotch on the way to work… down the freeway at 70mph. There I sat in a puddle of SWELTERING coffee with out a single way to clean it up. Luckily I was wearing black though… and I don’t use creamer.
