I recall holding a staff meeting at a magazine I ran and not recognizing I was sitting on my right leg the entire time. Quality and revenue was slipping, so I lit into everyone pretty hard. By the end they were all kind of quiet and shellshocked. I wanted to give them time talk amongst themselves, so I stood up to leave the room, except my right leg was jelly. I fell backward into the chair, which tipped over. Another banner day in my professional career.
First of all, mucho RESPECT to you for that AWESOME display of hilarity that I’m sure you (as well as your staff) can look back and have a good laugh at! Second of all, I have moments like that all the time. I was once taken aback when a guy I was interviewing at a local event (I report for a local newspaper) decided it was appropriate to hug me (which it definitely wasn’t – I no likey to be touched), so I jumped back so violently that I knocked over a bunch of tables at the event…. Everyone there stopped what they were doing to stare at me. It was splendidly awkward and I regret nothing…. 😉
Just Bacon.
