so...Mr. A is in a board meeting. well, i decided this was a prime opportunity for me to powder my nose...well, actually my whole face since i made the unforgivable mistake of going outdoors at lunchtime so that i could WALK (another unforgivable mistake) across the street to the bank. so i am powdering away and out runs Mr. A from the board meeting...and he says "as soon as the coffee machine warms up (apparently someone turned it off - i guess they are tired of being employed)...please make me a cup of coffee and i will be right back out to get it." well...i immediately finished the task that i was in the middle of prior to being interrupted (powdering) and one thing led to another and before i realized it - i had completed 20 OTHER tasks. so for a minute, i basked in the wonderful feeling of accomplishment. this however, was short lived....b/c i look up from my busy desk and there stands Mr. A...with a cup of coffee in his hand (i of course am wondering how in the world that got there - the coffee in his hand!) and he says "Nevermind...I got it." for a nano-second i was just a smidge embarrassed and i said "oh...i am so sorry. i completely forgot" (which i did)....fortunately a non-second passes VERY quickly. so that is what has me wondering...does forgetting to make his coffee make me a bad secretary or a bad waitress??????????
