Oblivious to the Obvious

Or… "In Which Gretchen Scares the Crap Out of Me"

So, Gretchen and I work at the same Big Company. We work in two different (but relatively close) locations. Occasionally, when our hair isn't on fire, we have lunch together.

I also may have reminded Gretch how much she likes spinning by inviting her to spin at the Retzlaff Winery back in June. Not only is she on another spinning kick, but also a lace kick.

In any case, I was running a little late from a meeting I had before lunch and I was a little… distracted. I open the curtain to my cube and MISSED the six foot, redheaded amazon waiting for me, who then yelled, "BOOO!" at the top of her lungs.

I shrieked, and it took me a moment to realize that (a) it was Gretch and (b) I am a dumbass.

Seriously, how distracted do you have to be to miss something like that?
