not healthy for company image..apparently

my colleagues have often 'envied' me publicly because despite being the rookie and one that is not trained in my supposed area of expertise, i'm paired up with the head of our leasing dept. Therefore, there are boundless opportunities to learn from the best and alot more exposure.

i'm very thankful to the company and of course God for this amazing chance and treasure it very much. however, this head is like the epitome of sophistication and class and together, we've been stark contrasts of each other.

here's why:
1) while showing a top FnB chain boss into the meeting room, i proceeded first..only to walk into the wall.

2)dropped my hello kitty plastic pencil case during another meeting. said boss saw..burst out laughing as my hello kitty contents spilled out.

3)suddenly bent down to clutch pants very tightly during meeting. people present thought i must have acute appendicitis or equivalent. turns out my buckle burst and i was trying to hold on to modesty.

4)was cutting steak during lunch meeting. it was abit tough. steak was recommended and ordered by restaurant's boss. was too carried away trying to get past the toughness i didn't realise the whole table was shaking because of me.

5)while eating xiao long bao during a lunch meeting, i bit into it and the soup inside squirted...in the direction of my client.

6)while eating some fish thing during same lunch meeting, grip with chopstick was not firm, so fish flew ..in direction of client.

7) while eating chicken, chicken flew...in direction of boss.

8)spat out horrible tasting desert (reflex action) because it didn't sit well with my tastebuds. but this one not so bad coz boss proceeded to do the same. it was that bad.

just to name a few. of course there are the usual trippings over imaginary pop up tiles, walking into walls/doors (latest was to walk into a man riding a bike causing him to lose balance) and walking into the gents only to realise after a full minute etc etc. of course according to murphy's law...i had to be embarassed before the boss and some other colleagues. needless to say, i'm gained a certain level of notoriety for said occurrences despite being a ROOKIE.
