please drink responsibly...

so, you know how i am constantly trying to be more cool than i am? well, maybe you don't know that, but i am. take for example this snap shot from above-- all professional in my handling of the gatorade, taking my job very seriously and executing each hand off to the marathoners with finesse and expert refill timing.


but do you know what would happen if i decided to start walking with that cup, got thirsty, and then decided to drink from that cup? that's right-- failure to execute. very uncool spillage.


i am not denegrating myself--don't get me wrong-- i'm just saying that maybe i was just running up and down the halls delivering mail and logging tax returns and answering phones and again decided to get my water to go and WHAM there it goes again. fortunately this time my jackie chan reflexes kicked in right in time for me to jump away from the massive dribble down my chin. just in time to avoid see-throughness of my white shirt. (I don't really wear white all the time, I promise).


and maybe master clint and i were hanging out at shae owens' opera recital and i maybe decided to snatch a cup of water on our way out to quench my parched pallet and BAM all up on my white sweater-dress. and the husband clint may have asked, "how did you spill that?" and i may have responded, "com'mon! i just have a hard time walking and being cool simultaneously!"


so i am hoping the universe will provide me with some sympathetic friends today. do any of you have a hard time with that, too?
