Dec. 23rd, 2009 07:21 pmNearly made a major work-related faux pas today - it was our work Christmas lunch and also Secret Santa time, but I'd forgotten completely that we'd said in a team meeting that the best way forward was for the two newest people (me being one of them) to buy one another presents. So, not-at-all-Secret instead.
Which would have been fine, if I'd actually remembered we said this at any point up to the time the presents were being pulled out of the bag. Even when I was handed a present with my name on it, the penny didn't drop! It was only when one of the others said to me "don't you remember we said..." (closely followed by "J will cry if you haven't got her something", so no pressure!) that anything penetrated.
Fortunately I could sneak off and grab a tin of biscuits someone else had brought in and 'regift' it hastily, though unwrapped, and avoid a J-shaped meltdown. Yikes!
Last day at work tomorrow, then 2 days in next week. What else? Watson's Big Gay Adventure premieres over the weekend! ;)
