No, not that kind either

Last night was a professional development meetup for my actual job, the assistant bit. One of the A-Team, "Trouble", forwarded the invitation.

I made a crucial mistake, which was a drink before dinner, instead of the other way around. I got stomach pain for my troubles, which continued off and on into the afternoon. So by four I was curled up around a mug of peppermint tea and chewing on ginger.

In this state I went down to hang out with the small and elusive LGBTQ* contingent.

The Lizard Prince showed up eventually (the dude who pinged my gaydar upon meeting him during that horrible account lockout with the broken virtual profile).

Then Trouble showed up, apparently because she knows the Lizard Prince.

We got to talking and I expressed some frustration that my Grandmanager had yet to be nailed down on a date for an upcoming 40 person meeting.

"Because you totally have a magic wand," Trouble said, rolling her eyes.

"Actually I do, but it has nothing to do with work," I said, and then realized what had just come out of my mouth. "Oh god. I'd meant pagan, and then it came out Hitachi."

Hilarity.

Smooth talking as always, Reverend Lunatic. :D

... I am so glad you are in my life.

I am very often intentionally funny, but sometimes the unintentionally funny bits are priceless.

Also, Trouble and the Lizard Prince seem to be dating, which makes me happy because they are both excellent people and seem well suited.

That's hilarious. In any other context, it would likely have been fine, but there, oops is abot all you can say.

These are people who I'd voluntarily spend time with in non-work contexts, so it was mostly hilarious. It was still oops, but could have been worse.

*snerk* definitely mostly hilarious ^-^
