Ruining my Life, One Day at a Time

Blogged under sarah-ness, work on Wednesday 4 June 2008 at 8:36 am

The agency I work for has a central speaker system. The first person to get access in the morning plays DJ all day. Usually that person is me. Having control of the office music is the driving force for getting out of bed every day. My life is very rewarding like that.

Yesterday morning I had Ben Folds playing. Typically when I leave the office I turn off my music of choice. However, when a meeting I’d forgotten about popped up on my calendar I was in a rush and forgot. When I returned I heard something that sounded less like Ben Folds, and more like my voice. I ran to my computer in horror. No it wasn’t a sex tape, though it sounded astonishingly like one.

“Oh my god! Oh my god! I am seriously sooooo hot right now!”

The file playing was my Botox session, which I recorded so I wouldn’t forget any minor details. Yes, as a matter of fact, humiliation is my middle name. So far, no one has said anything, but really why would they? They are too busy silently judging me, as they should be.

    Wow. Well you’ve become the “sex voice girl” at your office now. It could be worse. You could be the “picks her ear and eats it” girl or the “shit her pants during a lunch meeting” girl. At least you may get a few dates out of this mishap.

    These things only happen to you, don’t they? :)

    SRA: I think they happen to everyone, but I’m the only one stupid enough to write about them.

    Nope… nothing like this has ever happened to me. Not at all. Anyone else?

    Sovknight: Your life sounds far too boring if you’re not having enough humiliating moments. Hang out with me for one evening and I guarantee you’ll have a few to write about.

    that is hysterical. i would wonder the whole time i was in charge of the music what people thought of my song choices. i wouldn’t care so much, but i would wonder for sure!

    what do michael jackson, brad paisley, eminem, catie curtis, and the soundtrack to phantom of the opera have in common? um…natalie picked the music again.
