[Silliness] Mastering the art of comic timing.
Our Director of Operations is showing a potential funder around the office. We spent a chunk of yesterday making it presentable, and I even tidied my desk1. They've been closeted in a meeting for the past hour. Then they do the "office tour". As they arrive in the open area behind my desk, I sneeze. Loudly2. Three times. And then have to blow my nose. Loudly. Twice. Apparently the boss didn't look that impressed. My line manager has now suggested referring to me as Hornblower for the rest of the day.
1 OK, not very much, admittedly, but I compiled some piles, and took home last year's Dilbert calendar
2 Actually, they were only medium sneezes for me, as the windows are still intact, we don't need to go looking for missing monitors, and women dressed as schoolgirls haven't been whisked off with their little dogs to strange technicolor countries ...
