Why I Spilled Coffee On My Boss's Desk
Anonymous Shifty Imp #758 · General
So there I was, on my first day at this new job, trying desperately not to mess up anything. You know that feeling where everything is suddenly too important and you can't stop overthinking every little thing? Well, I had it times ten. Anyway, while getting a coffee for myself, I got so caught up in analyzing whether or not my posture looked professional as I walked back to my desk (I mean, do people even care about such things?), that I totally spaced out and knocked the whole tray of hot coffee right onto Mr. Chen's desk. And let me tell you, it was a lot more embarrassing than just spilling coffee. His papers were soaked, and he had that look on his face like he was trying not to laugh but also not wanting to make things worse for me. But here’s the thing: did anyone ever spill their morning caffeine anywhere in this office before? Because it feels like I’m part of some unwritten coffee-spilling club. Am I the only one who’s had a major mishap on day one, or is there a secret society out there just waiting for me to confess and join them?
