event fool

it's been a while since i was involved in an event. this morning, i was given the important task of chaperoning the guest of honours (GOH) up and down the stage.

i made sure i dressed for the occasion. nothing too strong, and nothing too girlie. smart low hung pants and a snug sweater that overlapped at the front. the make-up, as usual, was perfect. i felt confident.

the event started and i took my spot next to the important delegates. on cue, i stood to usher the first GOH up. When she was done, I stood again to usher her down. The I stood once more, more confident coz of the repetitive motion, to invite the CEO for his speech. when i sat, i heard a whisper from the back,"next time you stand up, make sure you pull your sweater down coz i think everybody just saw your black lacies peaking thru."

so taken by surprise i was, that i forgot to usher the CEO back off stage. but he's a smart guy, he made it down fine : )
