Return of the Awkward Thread: Fremdschämen's Revenge

So we just recently got a new executive director at work, who I report to. I have various outstanding matters that I needed to get her up to speed on, so I called her office first thing this morning to organise a meeting. Now I don't do too well on mornings as it is, and last night was pretty awful sleep-wise so I was only about 40% cognisant at the time of the call.

All I needed to say was "Hi Vicky, I was hoping to get together for a few moments this arvo to go through these matters." Simple. Super simple. Nope.

ME: “Hey Vicky, I was hoping to get together (*brain freezes*) to borrow your… ear (wait, what) for, uh, some (Minutes? Seconds? Oh gosh. TIME. Say TIME.) sec… s… (fuuuuuuuuuu-)

*several eons pass*

HER: “To… go through the hand over of matters?”

ME: “……yes.”

I’m now contemplating sending my colleague in my stead and/or throwing myself down a few flights of stairs.


TL;DR – Asked to have sex with my new boss’s ear.


Hello SE++, how awkward has your life been lately? :)
