Do I have Tourettes Syndrome?
As it is just my boss and I in our little office we do not have the need for cubicles. Usually I like this, because it is one of the perks of not working in corporate america. However, today I wanted the fabric covered plywood more that I have desired anything before.
Here is the thing: sometimes I become engrossed in my own little world and block out what is going on around me. This includes my boss, the phone ringing, customers walking in the door...I zone out like nobody's business.
So I was taking a break and poking through the news and saw an article about how much Bush paid in taxes this year. Interested, I clicked on the link and a picture popped up of Bush walking his cute rectangle head dog. And I barked at the computer. I did not think about it, it just came flying out of my mouth, "Arf!"
Realizing what I had done I slapped my hand over my mouth, and ducked behind my computer. The customer was on his way out, so I did not see his reaction, but I felt pretty stupid explaining to my boss why I barked like a dog out of nowhere. Who DOES that? Once again, I succeeded in weirding myself out.
