I was going to post this "Day in the Life of an Intern Otter" and it would be epic and wonderful. What I didn't know is today would contain one of my most awkward moments ever.

My previous most awkward moment came when I was doing one of those phone surveys for voting stuff. When asked if I was, "Single, Divorced, or with a partner," I answered, " ( Read more... )

My Scriptures Professor was named Hayman. I'm not sure that that's relevant in the slightest, but I thought I'd share. :D

Yeah, and for clarification if anyone is wondering....(like I was...)

Hyman is a name...both hebrew and yiddish.
The hebrew name means "life" and the yiddish comes from "hyam" which means "man". I thought it was fine.

What it was mistaken for was "hymen" which has to do with female reproductive organs and sometimes used to refer to a woman losing their virginity.

Let's just say I knew what it was but was definitely NOT familiar enough with it to think of it...*cough* or know what it was called.

Awkward much???

Sorry, that's not as sympathetic as it sounded in my head, with inflection and all. Just, it's the guys' fault for being idiots? *cheesy grin* I'll shut up and let the pros talk now.

Lack of words cause my inability to respond to this.
I felt super awkward because I didn't know and he seemed uncomfortable with knowing.

LOL, it was hilarious though because the look of utter trepidation was pasted all over his face. It was one of those looks when I kid asks their parent about making babies. Or asks a stranger. LOL. Wow. Then being followed by the whole age thing....yeah. Awkwardness * 134.

LOL that was a beautiful account of your day.
I'm sorry about the whole convo about names though....wow....that would be SOOOO AWKWARD! O.O Cuz, yeah, he's a guy, and he's old, and then he's wondering how old you are and what you know....whewwwww I'm sorry. But really, it could happen to a lot of people! So whatever!

ROFL. It could happen to a lot of people. Uh-huh.
The best part is I imagine potential conversations all the time, especially awkward ones, but I NEVER imagined something THAT bad. Haha. I sat in my office and tried not to hysterically laugh or cry.
