MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS

Hello beautiful people, it's been a minute, hiatus is done y'all, i'm back! Here for more exciting adventures and epic tales to tell. I'm here to make your weekend a better one with yet another episode of my personal experiences- EMBARRASSING MOMENTS, Here we go baby!

Team short-hair where are you @

Okay, i have had weird moments, like missing a stair step while people are watching, pushing in instead of pulling out a door, an open zipper in a taxi and many others but these have not been as ashaming as the ones waiting down below. See, i love to have a good laugh, it's good for my health and yours too. So without further ado, let's get down with it.

One of my work responsibilities is delivering invoices and other financial documents to our clients. This comes with lots of moving, meeting new people(both rude and calm) and also visiting various offices around the city. It's fun sometimes and not so good on some hapless days.

One of the most embarrassing "occasions" was when i went to REA Offices in Kamwokya and delivered documents that were supposed to be taken to Ministry Of Gender next to CPS. Gauging the difference in the distances between these two places, you may not 'get' me really. Here is the thing; When i presented the papers, a certain Diana was supposed to sign my return copy, to my disappointment, the only Diana that ever worked at that place was on leave. This got me confused, i insisted that i had talked to Diana prior my going there. I got all the people 'up and running' about trying to see if anybody else could sign them. Finally, i was ushered into some office that had four ladies in all corners. I handed one the order form and she looked at me like i had just murdered a human. Before i could get myself together from the evil look, she slammed the form on the table and said, "this is for Gender not REA, do you have a problem?" Every chair turned towards me, eight eyeballs focused at my sorry face and in an instant, everyone burst out in laughter.
Those five minutes in that damn office were like a lifetime of shame for me. My teary eyes surveyed the papers and right there, at the very top the client name read"MINISTRY OF GENDER."

I wanted to run away, but the door needed a finger print meaning i had to ask one of my scorners to help me. If i have never felt stupid, that day i felt the pangs of nostalgia for a kind heart to rescue me because each second added immensely to my sadness. The ground beneath me seemed to have ceased existing and suddenly i couldn't see clearly. At last, i made it out into the long corridor(or was it short) feeling like every person i met already knew how dumb i was. I thought i would never forgive myself for this mistake but time heals everything. That too got to pass.

I'm that short little being(or is it just the pic)

The most recent one happened in a very short time while my bosses called, whatsapped, and emailed me intermittently, call after call and in the heat of the moment, i panicked so much and lost my bearings. This was at Ministry of Health yesterday but one. I had important documents to submit, and just before i did, i got a call alerting me to wait a bit, check my email for attached documents that were to accompany the ones i already had. I get back to the gate, sign out so i can go to Wandegeya and do the needful. A minute later, another call asked me to go back inside, meet a person who would help me with that. I sign in again and while i headed for the reception, my data expired yet i had to download the e-doc so i can print. Gosh, i had to move out again, sign out and get airtime. I had borrowed some so while i hurried to load data, another call came in and i had to answer, my AT was then chopped. (HAHA, sending love to everyone who has experienced this before!) At this time, i could not concentrate at all. Long story short, i went back, waited at the second floor for someone to open but none ever came, so i went to first floor and accessed entrance, got the documents printed before a text came in asking me not to print one of the docs, WTF!

Guess what by the time i submitted, it was an hour of terrific adrenaline rush, sighs and deep breaths and forgetting office numbers therefore bumping into strange faces, saying sorry and begging for help from the wrong people. I felt really useless. At 5:13 pm, i was in bed licking milk and jazzing my bf how dumb i felt. He replied with a text that lightened up my mood; "Hey, relax. Don't beat yourself up, shit happens, remember your boyfriend walked through a glass wall before." This was all the laughter i needed, Thanks Ali.

Serving smiles all the way!

So, now you know that 'shit happens' ...haha. I'm eager to hear from you folks, have you ever got into an elevator and pressed the wrong button, ending up in a strange office? Have you tripped and fell literally over no obstacle at all? Let's share and spread the laughter.
Thanks for reading and catch you again next Friday as we bring more energy and positive vibes on board. Take care of your dear selves!
