Why can't I be someone else?


Just recently I have had so many moments when I have said things I wished I hadn't. It has left me with a dreaded feeling in my stomach and makes me feel like I can't ever leave the house again. For instance on returning a call from my supervisor at work:


Supervisor: 'Hello'


Me: 'Oh hello, it's Rose'


Supervisor: 'Hello, how are you?'


Me: 'I'm well thanks, is that Suzanne?'


Supervisor 'No, it's Jayne'


Me: 'Oh I didn't recognise your voice, you sound like Suzanne'


Supervisor: '. . . . . . . . . . . . '


Me: 'I got your message . . '


Supervisor: 'Just phoning to let you know we have your I.D badge'


Me: 'Oh thanks, I'm always losing that'


WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!

Firstly I think I offended her by saying she sounded like someone else, even though she did, Jayne actually has a very posh accent which I am sure she has worked hard on over the years whereas Suzanne . . . . . does not.


Secondly, as if I claim I am always losing my I.D badge!! I don't even know why I said that, it's dropped off my uniform once or twice because the clasp is loose, I may aswell have said, I leave it laying around for all and sundry to enter the building, your workplace is at major threat with me as an employee.


The only thing I can wish for is that either a) in a few days when I'm back at work I won't care or b) Jayne will have forgotten the conversation.


I hope it is both :-(


Does everybody else have moments like these?
