Rick walked into the plant after lunch; ketchup stain on the collar and mustard on his button to sit down for the meeting. The group looked around starring intently at him. He sat puzzled. Wondering what he was doing to amuse them so. The speaker walked in to give her presentation the room grew quite as she walked around the two chairs in the corner occupied by the business managers to the rounded table occupied by the employees of the small firm.
She sat her brief case down and began to speak as rick stared in awe. What he wouldn’t give to have such an intelligent woman in his corner. When the meeting was over Rick approached her with eager eyes and after one glimpse of him she headed for the door. She smiled at him and interrupted stating “Sorry, I’m happily married.” and walked out of the room.
Later Rick glimpsed down the hall and noticed her talking to Jeff the firm lap boy. What a blow to his ego. When he asked a co-worker why they thought she would speak to Jeff and not him? They simply replied “Why not- at least he knows how to put on a clean shirt”. Rick stood in disappointment and shock at what was just said. After all how did he know she would be here!
Tip: No matter how small the mess or event; you should always remember to keep up your appearances. After all you simply never know who you will run into…just look at Rick.
