Note to Self, Part II

You have a reputation as a Good Boss.

If you repeat today, you may well lose that title.

While today was "Hideously Hawaiian" day in the office, not all employees chose to participate.

Before congratulating an employee on a "Most excellent choice in the world of ugly shirts", make sure they are actually aware of the contest.

Sigh.

At least she won Runner Up. A Fifty Dollar Target card should help ease the pain.

Or purchase her some contact lens cleaner.

Oooh, you pulled a "mr. kenju". He's had foot-in-mouth disease for years!

Surely she will forgive you!

I've been on this planet a good amount of time and I still haven't learned how to control my brain "gatekeeper" that keeps the odd thoughts from escaping and coming out of my mouth. :-)

I keep going around, echoing Tracy Lynn. Dude. That is pretty darn funny.

Once I mentioned to a co-worker that she had dirt on her face. It was Ash Wednesday. oops.

Funny, I think that makes you a better boss. Maybe not to Ugly Shirt, but certainly to everyone else.

Until you utter the phrase "when's the baby due" ot a woman who is NOT pregnant, I think you're fine. :>

Still, how embarrassing. You have my sympathy.

That's excellent. Makes my flub-ups seem so minor. Thanks!

Oh. My.

Ouch.

Let's not pretend that moment didn't suck.

REVEL in the suckiness. 'Cause man, that's a good one.
