All that was Tuesday afternoon. Oh yeah - it took up the entire rest of the afternoon trying to set up meetings etc to make sure I didn't cross any lines. OOF.
The head of our PR firm wanted to meet with me and do a mock interview. ehehehehhehe - sorry - this just makes me laugh. We are a science research group! and the Mr that heads up PR wants to do a mock interview as though he was Modern Bride calling to ask questions. Something tells me they weren't coming from the same angle. =)
(For anyone who wants to know: I work on a projected called Sensory Substitution for Wounded Servicemembers. If yall want to know, I'm happy to babble about it, but its not exactly wedding related so hence I haven't posted about it.)
The designated call time rolls around and RING!!!!! I look at the caller ID and see...

So WITH the PR guy in the room to make sure I didn't mis-credit or reveal too much or go into my opinions on our funding (grumble grumble.. don't get me started on congressional funding!) I began answering her questions.... and sweating. 20 minutes later she thanked me, said she had enough for now, and that I'd hear from her in about a month. I had sweat all the way through my shirt, stumbled over my words, and used the word "factor" in almost every sentence and I have no idea why. Did I mention I hate speakerphone!?
So, thats that. There MIGHT be a blurb about me in Modern Bride. I'm sure in a few more hours I will think this is all very cool and be incredibly excited about it... but right now I am still answering questions around the office about my being a Modern Bride. Did I mention I am in science research?! oy vey.
Anyone else have their wedding life spill over into their work life where it just doesn't belong?
Oh - and just to make it better, when entering, it asked for photos. These are 2 of three I put in (the third one will have to wait until I get home - wrong computer):
Anyone recognize that from my proposal photos? Nice touch with with messy counter and terrible lighting right?
Have I embarrassed myself enough for your entertainment today?
