who invited the nerd?

Right now I'm currently shipped out in Valhalla, NY for work. If you're not familiar with this area of upstate New York, don't worry, you're not missing much. Think trees, winding roads, and truckers firmly set in the belief that sleeves are in fact optional.

I've been sent out here to interact more closely with our business clients and to represent my team back in Chicago. It's a task that's both flattering and over-whelming.

During this time I've tried to bring my A game - that's right, business pants with creases so sharp I just might take an eye out.

On Wednesday my business professional facade came tumbling down around me. During a system demonstration in front of about 10 clients, I single handedly managed to launch a client's cream and broccoli soup across the room (to seep into the carpeting), and disconnect everyone's Internet connection - Did I mention this all happened simultaneously?

Ummm... my bad?
