Reflection; Tues, 8 July 2014

1.  What happened? While talking about how my wife is so much at cooking and food preparation than I am (IRONY), I managed to cut the tip of the middle finger of my left hand.  I was cutting an onion.... something I have done before but I was talking at the same time and not paying close attention to what I was doing.
2.  How did I respond? Partly due to surprise and partly due to instantaneous irritation with myself;  I said "Oh, beeee-otch!" rather loudly (at least, louder then I had meant to say).  Then in embarrassment and agitation with myself I stood up to leave the room and go wrap it up.  Everyone at the table started laughing and I was even more mortified.  Here I was meeting a new group of people and within a few hours I'm sure my team (Blue) probably thought me to be an idiot. I succeeded in doing something stupid and saying something inappropriate.  Great start Doug.
3. Why? I was embarrassed and wanted to conceal what had happened... I didn't want to draw attention to myself or get a bad name early because I did something stupid.
