Mirror mirror on the wall...

This morning again saw the rise of my usual routine: shower, shave, toss on some clothes, frantically rush out the door so I can swing by to pick up the obligatory Arizona Iced Green Tea and then slide in to work. Aside from some rain, there was nothing to indicate that this day would prove to hold something more than the status quo.

I sat down and began going through what masses of corporate e-mail had piled up from the day before when someone pops their head in to ask if I could join them for a quick meeting. Internally grumbling because I hadn't yet had the opportunity to skim the news, I capitulated and headed to the conference room.

Generally speaking this piece of information would be exceedingly pointless but it's crucial to my story. Our front conference room is on street level and two of the four walls are almost entirely glass looking out onto the streets. From the outside, these windows are just about 100% reflective. Sure, we've had our fun in the past giggling at people who walk by and briefly primp themselves before it dawns on them that someone might be watching from the other side. What lay in store for us this morning was nothing short of a carnival freak show. Queue the carni music.

Meeting begins. Nick: "wa wha wa wa wa wha" Boss: "wa wha wa wa wa wha" Employee1: "wa wha wa wa wa wha" Boss: "what the hell is that!!"

Everyone turns towards the window (see picture below):



In case you're not picking up on it, there's Bum Betty in the window. No she's not peeking in at us, she can't see in. She spent the first 5 minutes looking at something that was stuck in her eyebrow. For a closeup of that see below:



The next 10 minutes (and no we refrained from taking a picture of this) she spent closely examining the inner contents of her nose......THOROUGHLY if you catch my drift. Needless to say the meeting proved to be unproductive since we spent the entire time laughing and cringing. Thanks Bum Betty for making an otherwise gloomy Thursday morning just a little bit brighter!!
