At work today, my New Big Boss declared an impromptu lunch outing, to celebrate a coworker's going into early labor (Congrats! You're in pain, and we're eating! :-) ) and belated September birthdays. In spite of my maneuvering, I ended up sitting on the end, right next to the New Big Boss. The New Big Boss is very friendly, but I'm still a bit nervous around her because, well, she's the New Big Boss. And I kinda suck at smalltalk.
At one point, the New Big Boss gets a phone call, which she takes at the table. Presumably important. It's at that point that I somehow manage to flip my dirty butter knife off my plate, through the air and right in her lap. She rather expertly caught it between her knees.
work,
