only me

ok so today was a typical day at work. check email, sit around, go for a drive, go to lunch, check email some more etc etc. you get the point. but then something unexpected happened.

we were all hanging out in the usual cubicles, having a good time, laughing it up, when it happened. I farted. I did not even know i was transporting this stowaway until it made it presence known. what did i do you ask. well i continued talking, like nothing happened. there was no change in the tone of my voice, my cheeks did not flush, there was no acknowledgement on my part at all. but i know it was noticed because the guy in the next cube over gave me a look. the kind of look like he could not believe i just let one rip in such close proximity to someone and did not excuse myself.

hey i'm sorry but i am not going to stop what i am doing and announce to everyone that i just cut one and that i was sorry. i mean if they did not notice it i sure as hell was not going to back up and bring them up to speed. besides it was all sound and no substance. i'm really not sure how i would have handled the situation if that was the case.
