Missed the ferry for a fairly exclusive vendor event and the organizer had to pay some random family on vacation with their private boat to come get me. Pulling up wearing a bright orange life jacket sitting beside their 10 year old was mortifying. I’m early to everything now.

Not an event, but gave an entire client presentation (to a 7th Day Adventist School group) with a dollar bill sticking out of my cleavage. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

OP - no matter what you did, it will never come close to the sheer WTF factor of the new employee that got wasted and left a very stinky brown mess on a white leather couch at the Fox upfronts.

I was driving my client to her hotel after a late dinner and I was exhausted. After driving about 10 minutes I realized that I was driving to my house instead of her hotel!🤦🏻‍♂️😝

She was from out of town and didn’t quite realize that anything was amiss so I changed direction. I admitted it though and we had a big laugh.

Sometimes I feel like a fake accountant LOL
