Read my expression
Yesterday I had a meeting with one of our executives that was rough. I mean rough. We went round and round about some things, I almost cried, and I swear to God I needed a hug when it was over. As I was leaving his office, there was a flock of people waiting to get in to see him. When we stepped out, one of the other execs said, “Hell, Liz must have worn you out man, you look like crap!” I immediately walked over to one of my favorite executives and said, “Can I hug you?” I did and he was very, very bewildered.
Today, one of the managers that had been waiting as I emerged from the office came by my desk and said, “I’m worried about you.”
“WHY?” I asked.
He said, “Because yesterday when you came walking out of that office you looked so different. And then you walked over to C and hugged him. That’s not like you.”
I said, “I know. The meeting I was in was very strenuous.”
He said, “I thought you may have resigned. You really looked awful- like you had either just quit or like you had just had sex.”
I said, “Do women you know usually look like they’ve just quit their jobs after having sex with you?”
He said, “Sometimes it’s hard to tell.”
That made my day.

I think the moniker implies intent and I did not go looking for them. In fact, I’d prefer a nice man, my age, who has a good head on his shoulders and between his legs. And now you may know a whole lot more about me than you wanted

Well, either could be a good thing, or either could be a bad thing.
After having sex, you could look like you’d been run over by a truck.
Now that I think about it, that could be either a bad thing or a good thing too.
Then, after you quit a job, you could either look like it’s the end of the world cause you don’t know what to do next, or you could be ready to jump for joy cause you’ve wanted to quit that job for a long time and you just finally got up the nerve to do it.
I hate having to have a meeting with a boss. I don’t remember anything good ever coming from one of those meetings. The best that ever comes from a meeting with the boss is if it’s a group meeting or something and it’s just a waste of time. Other than that it’s usually some crap like they don’t like your attitude or you didn’t get the promotion or there have been cutbacks and you have to do more work in less time.
I mean, they don’t call you into the office to tell you that you’ve done such a good job that you should tone it down some.

Heather, no I did not quit. I just looked like I had quit. My expression, my coloring, the watery eyes.... It was just a really hard meeting and people read my body language wrong.
Laughing, you are so right. I’ve never been asked to tone down my outstanding performance! Funny!

Last Fall my boss and I got into it about some stupid crap. I left NOT looking like I’d just had sex at all. I had to go outside for a walk to calm down.

I take that back.
I was once called into the office so that I might have a place to hide while we waited for the customer from hell to depart.
But other than that I think I’d rather stay away from the office now that there is direct deposit.
