A "The Office"-worthy Gaffe

This just happened about 10 minutes ago, by the way...

I have been having this miserable morning. I got a call at about 7:00 that one of the MA's at Murray had been sick all night and couldn't come to work. In addition, we had one of our physician's working who usually doesn't work Tuesdays, so his MA was not coming in. This left us with two MAs for four physicians.

I scrambled around and ended up pulling an MA from another office to work for us at Murray. When she arrived, I was introducing her to the staff. I started up front with our receptionists, Dee and Donna. Immediately, without thinking, I added: "The Double D's." As soon as I realized what I said, I could feel my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. I guess that's where Michael Scott and I deviate. I might say those things occassionally without thinking, but he's proud of it when he does it.

That's what she said!

hilarious! love those awkward moments at work. i don't know if you read my blog about an embarrassing moment for me at a job but i was working in HR and interviewing someone to work for the company. i asked them if they wanted a "fart-time or pull-time" position. there was no recovery after that.
