like drinking vodka but expecting beer
so…have you ever run into someone you know, but in a place that you would never expect, and have it really throw you off?
On my way to lunch I bumped into a friend of ours in the lobby of my building, along with her parents, her mom’s friend, and her newborn son. I would never really expect to run into Colleen during my day, and I would never in a million years expect to run into her at work!
The worst part of having that happen it that I was so focused on how odd it was that I barely remember being an active part in any conversation that might have happened. I mean, I was introduced to her folks and met her new little man, and at some point let her know that we’re expecting a boy of our own, but for all I know this could have all been intimated through a series of grunts, snorts and babbling on my part.
I’ve spent all afternoon wanting to hunt them all down and apologize for however I was acting, and start the meeting over — I feel like I’m apologizing for some drunken episode — and really, what’s the likelihood that I would run into them again today…on purpose this time?!
