Sometimes you can do the dumbest thing without realizing what exactly you’ve done until it’s too late. The other day I ran into a new colleague named Bill who told me about the companies free luncheon they were having. I immediately skipped up and devoured turkey, taters, green beans, pumpkin pie, and assorted dressings. It was fantastic food, but anyway I digress.
I get back to my desk after filling my stomach and my new head boss comes walking by, stops, and goes "Rob, we’re having a lunch today free for employees did anyone tell you?" I waste no time immediately spewing, "Oh, I already hit that." Without blinking an eye my new main boss turns around and heads off, which I reply "thank you though" to him as he leaves. Immediately after I said what I said the guy sitting across from me started to chuckle at my response. That’s when I realized exactly what I had said, and not having meant for it to come off so disrespectful especially when I only said that because my boss was leaving as he mentioned to me about the free lunch. My foot still is dangling solidly embedded in my mouth…
