Blog Every Day In May: Most Embarrassing Moment

I've had a few embarrassing moments in my life time, but the most recent occurred just last month.

I just got a new job working as an SLPA for a Speech Pathologist I met through C&E and we were at our first staff meeting to get schedules going. We played an ice breaker game where everyone took a penny and you had to tell the most memorable happenings during the year on your penny. The penny I received was 2011 and I thought it read 2001. I commented on how young I was and that I probably wouldn't be able to share much. Then I realized it was 2011 so I started sharing stories from the year 2008 for some odd reason.

When it was another co-worker's turn I gasped. Everyone wondered what had happened so I had to explain that I didn't actually graduate high school in 2011, I was in my second to last year of university. Everyone had thought that I was super smart because I had made it seem like I graduated high school in 2011 and finished university in 2012. Needless to say, I was so embarrassed. I still feel dumb when I think back to that staff meeting.
