And Then...

Last night was an awkward evening all-around. Shocking, I know. We went to see BB King, who was good, and old, at Ravinia with my co-workers. Fiji was (rightfully so) not all that excited about going. Hell, neither was I. But I got a Henna tatoo from this crazy lady in the business office. I asked for a star on my inner forearm and ended up getting a flower vine from my elbow to my wrist. Bygones. I was reminded, once again, that I have serious personal space issues. Big time. This should come as no surprise. When we arrived I went to go get the tickets from my boss at the front gate. I stood there clutching the poles of the fence like I was some sort of preppy jailbird. Which basically I am. Anyway, as I was waiting a woman came over to the gate (from the inside) and stood, literally, directly in front of me. I was like, UM HELLO. Are you KIDDING me here? But apparently my invisible superpowers work even when I don't activate them. I wish I could draw a picture. WAIT. I could. But that would take too long. So use your imagination. I was standing there. Then she comes over and stands on the other side of the fence/gate, practically nose to nose. It made me real uncomfortable, but I'm stubborn and competitive so I had to WIN. That was MY spot to stand (?). I'm irrational. But win I did. Well, actually, my bossman came over and passed me the goods, which I am guessing is kinda like when people bring you cigarettes in jail. Yeah. Just like that.

So that happened. Then we go over to bask in more awkwardness and it was hot. And there was cheese melting everywhere, so I ate it. Obviously. I had no choice. And drank lots of wine. And well, I guess that's it. But it was awkward. Believe you me. And then the financial services director got drunk and curled up with our blanket in a fetal position while we were in the bathroom (a.k.a. arguing outside the bathroom). So that was weird. I'm not sure I can begin another sentence with "And," but yet I know that I totally can. And then we went home. TA-DA!
