True story from the workfiles of wook -

I was sitting at my desk, innocently listening to my very large playlist. I'm working on balancing payroll and my boss, his boss and a member of our oversight and financial boards come into my office to go through our payroll balancing spreadsheet and an overview of what I work with.



I should backtrack and say that my playlist on iTunes has quite a few songs on it. Some are not really worksafe but I have those turned off of automatic play on my library. What i didn't know was that they don't turn off on the custom playlists. I happened to be listening to one that is my "perk me up" list.

Right after everyone assembles close to my computer, with music pouring through my speakers, "Look at my Enormous Penis" comes on the playlist done in a barbershop sort of way.

Everyone exchanges looks and I start looking around for a hole to swallow me up in. As there was no hole readily available, I turn beet red, redder than I have ever turned and they all started to laugh these nervous embarrassed twittering laughs and I just turned off the speakers.

No one's said anything yet but I'm sure that my boss will. I cannot believe that this happened to me. OMG i'm SO embarrassed.


To make me feel better, what embarrassing as fuck things have happened to any of you at work? Please to be sharing.

i feel this is beyond *facepalms*!!! i would have sunk into my seat as well. i guess this is a lesson in always turning off music before your boss comes into the office...

Yeah, it was AWFUL. It was unexpected that he walked in. It was just all of a sudden, he was right there and the music was playing. Just sooo much embarrassment there.
