Today I called my boss.....

[YourMajesty]

Honey.

He was talking to a recruiter in his office and she asked him about a form. He told her to let him check with me. He called my name and I walked into his office and said yes honey. Thankfully, he has a good sense of humor and told me to shush or everyone will catch on. I was so embarrassed (spelling). That is the first time I have ever said that to a boss.

Sounds much better than what I called my boss today....

Many years ago I was managing a new BBW. We had the president and vice president of the company in the store for a huge visit. It was back in the day when they used to have the jars of taffy on the counter. A customer came up to me and asked if she could have a piece. I was fairly nervous with everyone watching over everything that I started to say help yourself but finished with yes. It came out as "h*ll yes". I never curse anyway and I couldn't believe that I had just said that to someone. Yikes! Luckily the big wigs didn't hear, but I started to laugh so hard that I cried when I went to the back room.

I remember those days well...I was cursing whomever came up with that idea, because I was always snitching taffy!

I called a teacher 'mom' once, but no one noticed...I was embarrased, though!

My breakfast on the days I opened the store consisted of countless pieces of banana and vanilla taffy. (Hence the 10 pound weight gain.)

You are not alone! I am friends with a woman I used to work with, and I cannot help but give her a hard time:

Her husband called while she was working there and said, "Hi is Sue there?" to which I responded, "No, you just missed her I think she said she was picking up your daughter" then he said "Oh, well... I love you... bye (looongg pause)" then I said (with coworkers near by that had figured out it was Susie's DH) "Oh!! Well I love you too Sam!" Then out of him comes "Oh god! I am... oh geez... I was thinking about other things, I have so much on my mind..." "So you don't love me then?" My coworkers, all five of them laughed simultaneously.

That was a good belly laugh for us!

Now every time I talk to Susie I tell her to tell Sam I love him.

I used to accidently call my Band Director 'Dad' all the time. He was like a dad though... I love(d) my band director.

I used to work for the most straitlaced man ever--he was the President of the college and most people were terrified of him although he and I had a joking working relationship. The man wore a suit with jacket and tie even when he stopped by the office on holidays--I don't care if it was 110 degrees out, the coat was never off. I'd never seen him in casual clothes.

He was at a charity golf thing one day and was supposed to be gone from the office. I came back into the office and there was this man wearing a polo shirt, slacks, and sneakers with his back to me. It took me a minute to recognize my boss and in front of 3 VP's and a few other people, I blurted out, "Oh, my gosh, I didn't recognize you with real clothes on."

Oh, I took some ribbing over that one. Luckily, the boss thought it was pretty funny.

I have a BAD habit of automatically saying love you at the end of a phone conversation, I've done this to various men that I work with and they make fun of me to no end.

I can't tell you how many times I've made this mistake. To my boss, my CLIENTS, etc....so far, it's just gotten a good laugh, but one of these days, it's going to get me into trouble.

My sister used to be the assistant for the CEO of our company. One day, she knew he was trying to finish something so she went to his office to offer to take his calls. Instead, she asked him if she could take his pants! He just laughed and told her that he thought he'd keep them. She was mortified!

When I was still with my former company, I would get calls from my daughter each day when she got home from school or during the summer. I was so used to saying "Love you" before I hung up that I said it to a guy who worked for me. He just laughed and told me that he loved me too!

omg hahahaha this is hilarious!

Today one of my law partners emailed me a question, and I replied that I would look into it. Well, that is what I meant to type. I actually said that I'd "love" into it! Of course, the guy couldn't let it go and replied he didn't think he was deserving of that kind of attention and copied some people.

Spell check is very scary for those of us who multi-task. The word that scares me most is "evaluations." You make a couple of typos in that word and spell check turns your email into pornography!
