So a bit ago, Lee shared her most embarrassing story at work, and it got me inspired to share my most embarrassing story at work with y'all.

And inevitably, I'm going to say this, and other people are going to reach out and remind me of a more embarrassing story because I'm quite a bit of content there.

Of course they are. But let's set the stage and we're in Amsterdam.

Oh, I love that city. Now, I didn't live in Amsterdam, but I was there for work.

And I worked for a large global consulting firm. You can go to my LinkedIn to figure that out,

but a very well-known consulting firm. And I was there because I to figure that out. But a very well-known consulting firm,

and I was there because I was on a project. And I got together with a number of colleagues around

the world. I was leading this project. I said, I really thought we needed to sit in the same room.

Just want to go to Amsterdam. Obviously. Obviously. But a bit on the map, pretty much. So we are,

we are in Amsterdam, and the office there was right on the canal. Oh. It was a multi-story office. And so we're working very, very hard, as we tended to do. And one of the guys on our project worked in that office, and he's like, let's go upstairs. Because they have all free food, all free food. And while we're enjoying our free lunch, we can go and look on the rooftop because it's a beautiful rooftop overlooking these canals. And so we're out there having our food and, you know, all that and he and, and I was going to get something. He's like, actually, there's this cool periscope. And when you look off the top, you can see the whole city. And I'm like, oh, that's so cool.

And so I was going to get some more food. And so my colleagues had gone and were looking at Periscope. They walked away. Like, yeah, that was very cool. And so I walk up to it. And I'm like, eh, eh. And I look, and I'm like, what the hell? I'm like, how did you all reach this? And I look and I'm like, you're all tall fuckers.

And all my colleagues, I'm 5'3, they were all at least 5, 7, 5.8.

They're like, least high. And so this colleague was like, oh, just pull it down. If you just pull it down. It's movable. I'm like, okay, so I pull. I pull so hard. A big cloud of smoke comes out in this thing, I fall to the ground.

A periscope falls from the ceiling, along with like clubbing everywhere. And it's like this big golden thing. And my colleague gets big eyes. He's like, oh my God, I was just kidding. It's, oh my God. And I was like, what do you mean? What do you mean you were kidding? He goes, that's not, that's not it's not a that's not a movable periscope that's a piece of art that was installed for the 50th anniversary

of this office and you literally dangled on it with your whole weight oh my god like pull that

no he fucking did you dirty yeah and i was like what the fuck fuck? And I'm like, what the fuck do I do?

And I was like a hotel.

Like, I work there. Not in that office, ever, obviously. But I was like, fuck up. And so I'm like, it's lying there on the floor. And I'm like, are you injured? No, thank you. You know what? Nobody else asked me. Thank you. but you know they were they were my friends but like like, no. And so I'm like, oh, okay, I need to report. He's like, well, you need to go down and report this to the receptionist. And she's not the friendliest. And I was like, oh, great. What? I go, is anybody else want to come with me? Fucking hands down. So I go and I slink down and take the elevator down and go to the receptionist.

And I'm like trying to explain down and take the elevator down and go to the receptionist.

And I'm like trying to explain this and tell more details than it's necessary.

Of course.

Just stares at me.
