Picture This...

lina1131

You're on the treadmill. You found your jogging pace. You're sweating, you're in tune with your body's motion, the music is adding that extra push that you need to have the best workout possible, you are so there.

Then, your cell phone rings. You look down, it's your boss. ****, you have to answer it, what if the building is burning down? You try to slow down so you can actually speak, meanwhile trying to catch your breath so you don't sound like a g'**** idiot. You answer the phone, still out of breath, and boss asks you if you can make it to a last minute 1:30 meeting in the conference room. You respond without thinking and say "Sure" because how the hell can you tell your boss, the man that determines your salary and raises, no? The call is over and done with and then you realize you should probably check the time. It's 1:22. Fluck me.

I ran down the stairs of the gym to my car, sped like a freakin' mad woman in order to get to work so that I could be in the meeting on time. I seriously had not even caught my breath yet. I didn't have a chance to cool down so I was sweating like a freakin' insane person, I couldn't breath, couldn't talk, couldn't do anything but try to get to the one place I would be at 1:30 for an important meeting.

I make it, it's 1:29, i'm like racing to the conference room in my workout clothes, mind you (this means, tight pants, tank top, sports bra and tennis shoes!) I walk in soaking wet, still trying to breath and there in front of me is the Vice President, The manager of technical something or other, The Executive of Marketing (My Boss), The Operations Manager, and a few others - yep all staring at me.

Still haven't caught my freakin' breath, and the only thing I could say was...

"I'm an idiot, I was on the treadmill"

It would have been if they were like "Lina, you are awesome. We're giving you a $3 million dollar raise" Otherwise, meh, they could have e-mailed me.
