Some are good and some are bad. Like seeing someone fall down the subway staircase is hilarious, but then can get awkward if they really can’t get up and appear to be injured. But I’m here to talk about the awkward situations that are just annoying. For example, my boss walks into the office today and has a band-aid on her face. Yea, thats right, straight up Nelly style, (and I don’t mean Furtado, I’m talking about hot in herreee Nelly). Like what the hell am I supposed to say when someone walks in and has a fucking band-aid on their face? I guess there are a few options — Hey, do you know that there is a band-aid on your face? OR Hey, what happened to your face? Did you cut yourself shaving? (my boss is a woman) OR the option I went with — say nothing. It’s probably the worst option because then I couldn’t look at anything else, I found myself wondering what was underneath the band-aid and did she think about how awkward and uncomfortable it would make her co-workers. I mean seriously, I don’t care what the story was, if I had to walk into work with a band-aid on my face I would make an announcement saying “yea assholes I’m wearing a face band-aid, lets get it out in the open”. Personally, I think it’s inconsiderate to put your co-workers in this kind of situation, I think she should have stayed home and let her face “heal” so I could write this post without having the minimize my screen every five seconds.

That’s hilarious and I agree – totally awkward! Personally, I like to make up stories about why they feel the need to don a big ass bandage on their face because those stories are usually better than the real ones. On another note – when did you become a working stiff again? I must have missed that post…
