First Day Misstep? Mission Accomplished!



      Having flowers on the first day of work delivered to your office surprisingly makes you the most popular girl in the office until the following happens:

1.   You ask who to thank at the hotel for sending you a welcome gift, and promptly realize that your assumption was not only a little presumptuous, since that apparently isn’t a common practice, but now you potentially have alluded to a scenario in which you received said job/flowers by sleeping with their boss.


2.     When you reveal that it isn’t from a husband or fiancé, nor from your boyfriend, but your loving father.  It's not that your dad sending you flowers makes you less cool, it's just not as fun to gossip about especially when...


3.      The conversation immediately turns to your love life.  You explain you aren’t married or engaged, or even planning a wedding like the girl who receives incoming packages (including your flowers), has an iceberg on her ring finger, pictures plastered of her hubby all over her cubicle, and clearly can’t wait for her wedding on July 17th at this one Burnsville church and… wait, what were we talking about?  Oh yeah, the flowers your dad jokingly sent from the family dogs.

      By the way, you’re blocking the fluorescent light from my cubicle that shines on my boyfriend and I making out at a Milwaukie Brewery.
