"Fools!" I crackled

On a lighter note, the provost of the university came to our office yesterday for a tour and a showing of the website (by yours truly). Of course, for the first 10 clicks the wireless that I was on via my laptop was down, but my boss deftly talked whilst i prayed/frantically clicked/and thought of alternative delivery methods for said website walk through. Luckily, the damn thing started working just as my boss delivered the end of a passionate speech about why we're so good and bla bla bla.

"Onward to the site!" I said. Then I jumped on the table and used the motion capture mouse and interactive projection board that I had invented earlier in the day to show them the site. Also, my hair was wreathed in flames, both glorious and holy.
Well. Needless to say, he was quite impressed. I stuttered not once and shrugged off the fact that the internet cannot quite handle the speed of my nimble mouse finger. I don't think he noticed. After the clapping subsided there were many drinks shared and promises of first borns and the like. *

Upon their leaving, my boss commended us first rate style. She said she was going to lunch and that we should all come. Knowing that this was code for free lunch I pounced. Apparently, no one else sensed the free meal** and was left behind. "Fools!" I crackled as I devoured my prize with gusto.***



*well, i'm not sure where that got off point, but in reality that stuff is mostly true. in my head it is seriously true.
**i mean with veggies and everything!!
***gusto, not pesto. pesto is gross
