Or is it just me?
Have you ever stepped onto an elevator and it smells really bad like strong cologne or body odor or something else really offensive? And then you realize you are the only one in this cart so you feel sorry for yourself that you have to ride down however many floors with no one to complain to, and you've already had a bad day and now it's just going to be worse because you just know you're not going to be able to get this smell out of your clothes and hair until you can shower and change. And then after only a couple floors the cart stops and one or two people get on, and you just know that they think you stunk up the elevator but are too polite to say anything. And you know this person / people, but not very well, and you want to tell them that the smell is not your fault, but that would just make you look even more guilty. So no one acknowledges the smell because you are too embarrassed and they are too polite but probably not polite enough to not mention it to the people they work with the next day. And probably the people they work with are people you kind of know, too. And then what is usually the most uneventful 30 seconds of your day suddenly becomes the most significant. And then you think about it too much. So much that you have to get onto your personal blog and vindicate yourself even though the people who need to know the truth would never read it because they don't know you have a personal blog and wouldn't read it even if they knew. Also, you don't know the person's / people's name(s) or else you may be tempted to add them as a friend on Facebook because there is a chance they would look at your personal contact information and see you have a blog and connect to it and recognize your story that they played such a key role in. And as you're writing this you feel a little crazy, but you just know that you will post the story anyway because there is no cure for crazy.
Sigh.
Sigh.
I love you! Thanks for the laugh! I may not be able to ride in an elevator ever again without thinking of you! You are the new water cooler gossip!
Hey, hope you don't mind that I still read your blog...love this by the way. It made me laugh so hard!
