foolish move of the day, stories to share?

[RICHARD]

As we modernized our facility by getting comps and a new system in the office, my boss chose me to be the office rep.

I would go to meetings and try to get a spot at the rear of the room, near the door so I could get out of the room to get a drink, go to the BR,etc.....

I went to one meeting in one of rooms that could be dividied into smaller rooms w/a partition. I chose my seat carefully at the 'back' of the room. As people filed in, the gal in charge saw there was not going to be enough space.

She asked me to help her open the partition to make the room bigger. By the time we finished my coveted back row seat was in the front row.

I just then noticed that there were a few 'suits' that were sitting in that front rank.

I went to grab my stuff and go sit in the back when the gal stopped me and told me that I was 'OK' where I was.....She then started the meeting and asked the suits in the front row to introduce themselves.
The suits were all, 'Jim Smith, regional poobah of Info Tech, Frank Jones.....

......Sultan and Northern Cal Veep'. As the intros go on I start to panic knowing my jeans and sweatshirt among these suits has given me away and whatever comes out of my mouth will just reinforce the hoax I belong up front.

As the gent next to me starts to speak, imy heart rate starts to race and I get the full body blush.

It's my turn now, I blank out for a second and the gal leading the meeting sees I am struggling and asks me to introduce myself.

'I am nobody!', I hear my self say, then the room erupts in laughter.

My heart skips a beat, then I hear something like, ' Everyone here is SOMEBODY!'.

I managed to get my bearings and spent the first part of the meeting, head down, furiously taking notes. At the break the suits said I made them laugh and I ended up making some important contacts.

Not too shabby for a nobody!

I am not sure how funny this is but I finished typing the bulletin for Sunday's Worship here at the Church. We also include a schedule for the following week. The Pastor here has been having a Bible Study on Monday and Tuesday every week. When I mentioned that the office was closed for Memorial Day he said he was going to ask his class if they wanted to come anyway as he had no plans for that day and a few had said they would. So I typed in the bulletin The Church office will be closed on Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day but Bob will still have his Bible Study at 11:00 am. On Monday of this week, he came back from the class and said take the part out about Monday, now no one wants to come. So I did and I started making copies - Thankfully, I checked the first copy because I had just taken out words and the sentence now read: The Church Office will be closed on Monday, May 25th and Bob will NOT have his Bible. Now maybe someone cares if Bob has his Bible on Monday but I don't think so.


I know there are plenty of others as I am always saying something that even as I say it, I am going oh, no, I can't believe that just came out of my mouth.
But fortunately I also have the great gift of poor memory so I dont' have to go around feeling stupid all the time as I can't remember most of my "less than smart" moves.

Guess it's "anything goes" if he doesn't have his bible - huh? Eat, drink, and be merry....??????
