So... I had a rather unpleasant (embarrasing) moment today. I was just heading back to the office after grabbing lunch with Jared. He had given me a Cantina set and a couple Endor Generals to pass along to Morgbug and chuckles, in a thin white plastic bag. So I'm walking back to the office, and even go out of my way to come in through the back entrance to the parking garage, so I can stash the loot in my car without anyone from the office potentially seeing it, and discovering that I'm a dork, and not really the totally cool co-worker that they all know and love...
So whaddaya know... I run smack dab into our secretary and office manager (both girls in their early/mid 20's), who were also returning from lunch. They saw me from across the street originally, and hustled their way on over to me, and one of them starts asking "What's in the bag?" I'm already trying to shield it's contents with my lunch leftovers box at this point, so they're keyed in on the fact that I'm trying to hide something from them. Of course, that makes them want to see what's in the bag even more. The one girls persists, bum rushes me, grabs a partial hold of the bag, and takes a look inside...
Yep, those would be Star Wars action figures in there, thank you very much.
I'm having one of the more embarrasing moments of my life at this point, as they both start laughing at me, which turns into a somewhat playful session of taunting and ridiculing. We talk a lot of **** to eachother as it is, and they could see they had me by the balls at this point, and they really went for the jugular. Boy, I didn't hear the end of it. Still getting it too, each time I pass either of them in the office. Snickering... Humming of the Star Wars theme... Toy talk... etc.
I think they've now figured out what all the packages are that arrive for me here at the office too, including one this morning...
ARGH!
