Hi all,
I work in a relatively high profile role and had a complete brain melt in a meeting today and actually spoke gobbledegook.
I got completely confused and was talking about one person when I meant someone else AT LENGTH, everyone was looking at me like I was mad. It was my only contribution to the meeting.
It doesn't sound that bad on paper but honestly it was mortifying as they were all internal very important stakeholders who were completely competent. I was also the only one on screen so imagine I was MASSIVE too.
A few weeks ago I was on a virtual call and saw a cat killing a bird in my garden and started screaming on camera like a lunatic. This was worse than that!
Please make me feel better with your stories of work mistakes that felt awful but are now funny!
