G-mommie here, & I want to talk to you kids today about a situation I think we may have all hit at some point or another. And I think you folks in an corporate office situation will especially understand...
So my manager calls me over. And he's not necessarily a low talker or anything, but I think this was like, a secretive thing he was trying to tell me, so he was half-whispering. Which, you know, normally wouldn't be an issue because I'd just work harder to pay attention. But some small part in my brain started a snowball on me...I started thinking about Kristen Stewart out of nowhere, & how horrible an actress she is. And then I started thinking about Panic Room, & thought to myself that she wasn't too bad in that, but then again, she was much younger & playing a half-asleep diabetic that was going into shock, & honestly, would that have been so hard? So maybe she's just stuck in that character & can't get her tripped-out ass to play a decent Bella now. Wait a sec....
Back to conversation. Manager says, 'Ok, so that sounds good? I can put your name in for the project.' I felt like Ralphie in A Christmas Story when Santa tries to convince him he wants a football & he just nods & says 'yes' in a quiet, defeated voice. I just nodded & said yes to my manager.
So now...what the hell did I just sign up for? And then you get into that totally awkward moment where you SO don't want to just ask because you'll look like a total moron for having completely missed the last 5 minute conversation. But it is total awesomeness cuz I just pulled off being an idiot without anyone knowing.
Why am I so kick ass?
