3:15 pm, on the 2nd of August
You know when you laugh at a person who slips on a banana peel on the road and point fingers at him wondering how stupid it was of him? Couldn’t he see the banana peel and just avoid it? Well what if the same thing happens to you in office? Would you go red with embarrassment or just brush it off and get on with work?
I went through a similar situation at work on Saturday. And I have nothing to say in my defense but just make sure that I do not yell something else like this in the future. At least I hope to avoid it in the future.
UD & me were chatting idly at her desk in the afternoon about how the company could save money and help the environment and how beneficial it would be if we were to have a 5 day working week. Basically, we abhorred the idea of working on Saturday and were trying to convince ourselves what we could tell the management to change things around office for their and our benefit. (I seriously am concerned about the environment to be able to do anything beneficial for it. Seriously!)
And SS walked by hurling insults at me a couple of times because I had promised her a Dark Chocolate bar in return for helping me out for the Nth time to release my G&O since the boss wanted it changed once more. Well, it was nothing serious except that women do hold grudges for longer periods of time than men and forget or forgive very little unless you do things their way and by their way ONLY!
So, she walks past us for the 3rd time (she usually is scurrying around office all the time because her JD demands that she does it) and remarks – “Liar! Lair! Pants on fire!” and walked off.
Now yours truly had enough and thought it was time to shoot his mouth off and yell back a suitable retort for all the accusations that she had been hurling. So, in a flash, without actually thinking about the repercussions of the retort I yelled out to her while she walking away and was about 20 feet away from where I was – “Your just jealous that I’m hot!”
Whhhhhaaaaaa???????????????
Back up a minute here cowboy, did you actually say that? That too with the entire HR team and some of the accounts team sitting there and able to hear every word that you can say?
I immediately slapped my forehead for the stupid and ridiculous remark that I made regretting it the minute it left my mouth. Anyway, like an arrow that leaves a bow, words once out cannot be taken back. And the entire HR team was in splits over that remark and I decided to hide behind that workstation partition. I was red in the face and could not believe the stupid thing I had just done.
I guess it was one of those Saturdays and things that has to go wrong.
Hey! Maybe I should narrate this to the management and convince them that before things get out of hand with the other employees and we hear such bloopers in office on a regular basis, we should declare Saturdays as holidays.

Ahem... cough cough. It is time to summon Mommy (I mean AG) for some lessons on female behaviour, young man.
On second thought, i think you got your punishment for that remark. :D
