Larry David Moment

I promise you, it is not what it looks like. I have a totally reasonable explanation. Go on this little journey with me: I finished my delicious spaghetti in meat sauce leftovers and decided to wash the container out so as to avoid the staining that is common when a tomato based sauce is left in tupperware containers. So I went to the sink in the kitchen just down the hall from my office and started to rinse. Naturally, because everything must have some sort of cruel twist of events when I am involved, the sprayer went crazy part way through the wash and threw water everywhere. Perfect. Not only did I now look like I had a different type of accident entirely but I am wearing grey, something you all would have already read is the worst for hiding wettness situations from the public eye. Well, after I mopped up all the water on the floor and counter, I walked as directly to the bathroom as possible. I had the brilliant idea to use the hot air hand blower to dry my pants. Now imagine Im standing there, as close as possible to the wall-mounted unit, drying my pants, when my boss enters the bathroom to see me like this. Without any words he just stopped, looked me up and down once, and then backed out of the bathroom. Sweet. A classic 'Its not what it looks like' moment. This is what I get for trying to save tupperware.
