Two Story Worthy Moments in One Week.

I am one of 5 interns in the University of Washington's Olympic Sports office. I work there 3 days a week and spend most of my day working at a computer and snacking/drinking hot cocoa. Since I have to be in the office at 9am I usually bring my breakfast into the office. Today I brought some instant oatmeal. We have a water cooler which dispenses hot and cold water. I put my oatmeal into a cup and held down the tab for the hot water. About halfway through it dispensing, the cup slid out of my hand and fell on the floor. The halfway wet oatmeal literally exploded out of the cup and into my hair, on my face and all over the UW Husky purple carpet. If you have ever made oatmeal you know that when it does not have enough water in it it is a very sticky consistency. I immediately tried picking it up off the carpet but it was no use. I ran into the intern office to tell my friends. They here hysterical laughing at the oatmeal that was literally stuck on my eyelids and in my nest of curly hair. I laughed so hard at myself that I could barely tell my supervisor what happened. I ended up having to run around the building looking for the custodian. Thank god it is ALMOST friday!
