Dork moment

[selenay]

Sometimes, it's really not obvious that I'm a fairly smart, capable person. Case in point, this morning.

I was walking down the hall to door off my floor. Looked up and was distracted by the woman walking towards me - slender build, long curly blonde hair and one of those faces that's both pretty and mischevious. She smiled at me, nothing more than a polite smile, but it distracted me from my purpose. Rather than returning the smile and gracefully opening the door for her, I smiled and walked straight into the locked side of the double doors. Cue a slow motion bounce off the door and a quick stumble.

Girl walks on with an amused smile.

Dork moment, n'est ce pas?

How do I manage to write complex SQL and design useful applications every day, yet manage to be a complete dork at the same time?

That's not being a dork, that's just being horny, sweetie.

[selenay]

*snort* That's...comforting. I suppose :-)

HEEE!! Now THAT is funny :) And Teryl's right, it's just stunned horny. It'll be ok, ::pat, pat::

[selenay]

Thanks, hon.

Stunned horny. Now that's an explanation that might work. At least it explains the stupid expression on my face when the door didn't open...

Well, if it makes you feel any better, if I posted every time I did something 'dorky' like that, you'd get an update every time I left my desk...

Sigh.

So, where was your mind?

Possibly in the gutter?

Good for you!

I'm assuming that's where it went. ;-)

Grr. Quit making me feel better for having a gutter mind at work. That's really not an appropriate place!

Sorry to say that there is never an inappropriate place for gutter mind.

I speak from experience here. :-O
