....ok, "clamoring" may not be the right word. Heckling might be more like it.
Last week, I sent the following e-mail to some of my friends and family. And this really happened, by the way:
You know how some people say they are chained to their desks?
I managed to get myself glued to mine this morning. Superglued. I had 4 fingers glued together and stuck to the desk and stuck to papers.
And then.....I remembered someone said that saliva will dissolve superglue, so I leaned down and started licking my fingers.
And that was how one of the partners found me when he opened the door because I couldn't clearly say "Just a minute" when I had my tongue stuck to my fingers which were stuck to my desk.
Can I go home now?
Little Sly's response was "That's brave of you to tell THIS family about that!!!" (some day, I'll tell you the stick-shift and floormat story about her and how fast those e-mails went through the family)
I received the following e-mails today:
From Peanut Gallery Member #1: I've been monitoring your blog to see the "My Tongue Is Now Glued To My Desk" entry. Too embarrassing for public consumption?
From Peanut Gallery Member #2 (whose name I forgot (tee hee): pssst...Jerry....maybe she doesn't remember the event...shhhh
So, there. I posted it.
Amazingly, that little incident did NOT get reported around the workplace as I feared it would. My credibility is still intact. And after a visit to the salon, so are my nails.
For most of the last week, I have been trying to upload photos of Jenni and Tim's new house; but the server is being difficult. I had about 5 uploaded, and then it deleted all but one. But I'll get them posted here if I have to nail them to the blog.
!
Maybe I should use super glue.

melts in your mouth not in your hands ?
*snork*
Great story sly. Too bad you couldn't get a crapcam picture of yourself. Thanks for being brave enough to share and to let us laugh with you.
Glad all your digits are intact and the nails too.
Albeit delayed, a great soul-cleansing confession.

Sly, three words for next time:
Nail polish remover
Oooh, good idea, Jeff! Sly, I imagine the lavender scented one wouldn't taste too bad.
Yup. Try chasing the acetone with Red Bull -- you may come up with the next trendy drink.
*adds kudos for sly's bravery and awaits the stick-shift-and-floor-mat story*
Sly,
Well, you remembered it after all. Bravo!
