my tact filter wasn’t employed yesterday when the following took place.
we have automatic faucets in the sinks at work, this is totally irrelevant to the story, but i wanted to draw the sinks to set the scene in the bathroom.
as i came out of the stall and headed toward the sinks, a fellow co-worker said hi and proceeded to make conversation.
i immediately got a little sheepish… i’m learning how to take compliments, but it’s been a slow growing process. i also don’t really like attention paid to my person for the most part, but i’m trying to get over that as well.
this is where my tact-o-meter failed. miserably.
i tried desperately to save the situation.
to no avail…
we then left the bathroom at the same time… awkwardly.
