I used to declare people "Hero of the day", but I haven't done that in a while.. until today. The Hero of the Day award goes to Ryan, a guy I work with. He also made me feel special. This is a bit of the conversation we had:
Me: "Ryan, you're my hero."
Ryan: "Linda, I juat can't take my eyes off of you."
Now while ya'll are all awww-ing, let me put it into context for you....
So, I got to run my own event today - easy as can be... just re-fill punch and trail mix, and thn when everyone leaves, take down the room. I put all the beverage holders onto a cart - water, coffee, punch, and loaded up all the cups and napkins, and brought them back to the sink to dump them all out... well, I've never taken a room down by myself before, so I missed a very important step in the pouring out of the coffee. There are these little cans filled with blue goop that are lit of fire and stuck under the coffee to keep it warm. Before moving the coffee containers, you are supposed to put the fire out. I didn't. So when I moved the pot again, the little jar flew off and fell, leaving little globs of flame on the floor and under the sink. Me: "oh... fire... umm... Ryan? I think I need your help." Ryan comes over, puts out the biggest glop, and together we watch the others die out, and then check to see if anything was damaged (all good... nobody was hurt in the making of this story).. Me: "Ryan, you're my hero." Ryan: exagerated sigh and rolling of the eyes... "Linda, I just can't take my eyes off of you..." Yeah... definately feeling umm. .*cough* ... uhh special...
