I channeled my inner idiot this morning as I was looking for a coffee stirrer near my desk. I was looking around frantically for a stir stick, spoon, pencil, pen, tongue depressor or anything that I could dissolve the sugar in my hot coffee with. In a moment of sheer genius, I stuck my right index finger into the bottom of the cup and started moving it in a circular motion while grinding my teeth and pushing the pain into the back of my mind. I continued to stir the boiling hot water with my finger until I felt the sugar dissolve then I pulled my finger from the cup while screaming at the same time.
"What did you do?" inquired Ida, my Chinese coworker.
"I wasn't thinking, and I just wanted my coffee to get stirred".....she then proceeded to hand me a spoon from the sink near the coffee maker, I turned as red as my finger, gave everyone else a sheepish look, then put my head down and went back to my work station with my head down laughing quietly at my own stupidity.
Yep, I'm a teacher.
