Okay, back now. Ah, hostessing. I'm so much better at it when I've had some caffeine. I still think wacky things while sitting there, but I'm so much more smiley and stuff when asking people their names.

Oh! And today one of them told me his name was Prince Charming. Couldn't come up with a comeback fast enough. Doh!

And this one female exec came in, gave me her name, and right after she walked away I was doing a headcount and I said, "four" under my breath, and it sounded to me like I said, "whore" even though I hadn't, and I was thinking how offended she'd've been if she'd heard. But how dumb is that? I mean, I don't think she's a whore, I really don't know her well enough, and anyway, I didn't really mean to call her a whore. Ahem.

And today I didn't have the "you can love me now" song (by hothouse flowers) stuck in my head. Instead, I had the powerman 5000 version of "relax" from zoolander going through my head. I'm such a geek.

I would tell her that you were doing headcount, said four, and thought, "goodness, that sounded like whore under my breath!" She probably didn't hear anything, but if she did, she'd 1.) think you had a sense of humor, 2.) not be someone who didn't like you, and 3.) are one of the "Fun" people around the office. Being fun in the office is the best way to network and get yourself noticed.
