A Crash Course on How to Look Like an Idiot

And the scene opens at my workplace, where I'm doing patrols, and stopping and cheerfully conversing with other employees. I start telling one of the guys, Bill (not Billy Bob), about this horse I want to buy that's only $300, and... okay, that's another blog entry entirely...

Anyway, I was telling Bill about this horse, and was gabbing away, when all of the sudden I hear this voice behind me, "Excuse me,"

So, I turn around and see none other than Bill's supervisor standing there, who says rather pointedly, "Um, I HATE to interrupt you, but Bill is REALLY busy here, and he should be working... "

"Oh, sorry," I say, flashing him my most winning smile. He did NOT smile back, but remained there, a steely glint to his eye, waiting for me to leave, which I did, hurridly, my face aflame.

Of course, everyone stopped working when he came over, and stared at me as I walked out. So yes, guys, I'm giving idiot lessons to anyone who needs a couple pointers.

Oh, but I love this. When Mr. Bill's Boss left later on today, he flashed ME a winning smile on the way out the door. Grrrrrr.... It is most emphatically a Monday.
