I need a better brain-to-mouth filter
3 years ago
I can stick my foot in my mouth like no one’s business. I hardly ever let an opportunity to say something stupid pass me by. Today’s example? My boss’ boss came to check up on us today, and we were talking for a little bit. She was asking how I like the new place, and saying she’s glad I transferred because I’m one of the strongest people she’s got. Woo-hoo! Huge compliment, from someone whose good side I definately want to be on! There were probably tons of appropriate responses, and what do I come up with? “Really?” Like she had just told me I had monkeys flying out of my butt. Way to project some self-confidence.
