I Am Constantly Finding New Ways to Make an Ass Out of Myself

We threw a baby shower at work yesterday, for a colleague.  The kind of casual affair that involves punch and cake and gifts.  Really, an excuse to take a break for an hour and eat cake.  I was in charge of decorations.  I wore a skirt to work yesterday which was probably not my smartest move.  Especially when I decided to hang a banner from the ceiling.

I decided to hike my skirt up, stand on a chair and hang the banner from the ceiling.  And of course, I closed the door to the conference room first.  And this really isn't a big deal because I work with one man, there is one man on my team.  What are the chances he was walking into the conference room at that exact moment. 

You know where this is going, right?

As I am standing there, skirt hiked up past my knees, trying to hang the banner from the ceiling, this one man walks into the conference room.  "Hey Jodi, where do the gifts go…um, do you need help with that?"  

I was like, "get out of here, NOW."  I scared him so much he never came back to the shower.  I had to hunt him down to tell him it was okay to come back in the conference room.  He could barely look me in the eye.

But the banner turned out pretty good.  At least that was something.
