Memalufying Moments

Lately, I've been experiencing a number of embarrassing moments, mostly in front of my BOSS! *gasp horrors*

For the past 3 weeks, my right eye just won't stop twitching. All of a sudden, it'll just twitch and twitch and twitch. And it's obvious to anyone near me to notice my eye having sudden spasms. As if that's not embarrassing enough, my eye decided to twitch rather violently during a 1 to 1 meeting with my boss. I could tell he noticed it but decided to ignore rather than comment about it. That's when in my mind, I went "Darn eye!! Stop the spasms!!!"

Then, during another 1 to 1 discussion with my boss on a serious issue [yes, I've been having lotsa discussions with my boss lately. This is my big boss. Coz my direct boss left the company recently and my big boss gotta takeover all the work from him til a replacement is hired], all of a sudden, something got into my left eye and damn, was it painful. I thought it won't be a smart move to rub my eye there and then and risk smearing my liner and mascara all over my face, so I sat very still, trying hard to ignore the discomfort. I tried not to blink much as not to aggravate my eye but after about a couple of minutes, it started tearing. Shit! I still acted as if nothing was wrong and after the hour long discussion ended, went straight to the ladies to sort my eye out.

Another embarrassing moment took place in a meeting with about 4-5 other people from within my department. In the middle of the meeting, I started hiccupping. Arrgghhh... I held my breath [coz I heard this is one of the way to stop the hiccups] but gagaled. I tried so hard to suppress the hiccups. I think the others heard my "Hic Hic Hic" but decided to spare me the embarrassment by pretending they didn't hear anything.

As if all these incidents are not enough to make my big boss think I'm a freak, during a discussion in his room some time back, my stomach decided to let out a HUGE growl [didn't have breakfast that morning]. Ooops!! He asked whether I'd eaten and I told him no. He then told me to make myself a drink then only resume the discussion. Aaaaaa....

If all those happened in front of other people, it's really memalukan, but in front of my boss??!!! It's double the embarrassment!!! Urrgghh... On those times, I wish the floor would just open up and swallow me. Urrgghhh... So malu!! No face!! So much for putting on a professional outlook in the office. Wonder if my boss secretly had a good laugh about all my antics...
