Dessert

Bad, bad day.

As part of a sales promotion, my boss thought we needed something that was really, really breakthrough to kick off the new initiative. Something with a lot of P.R. value.

So she cooks up a big meet and greet with the press, the highlight being me encased in a large cube of orange gelatin. I would then give a sales pitch while the guests fed off the gelatin. Festive!

At first, I was kind of excited. I love gelatin! It all sounded like a pleasant enough way to spend the afternoon.

Then things kind of got a little screwy. Seems they managed to book some soap opera star at the last minute and in all the hubbub generated by Mr. Showbiz Hollywood Celebrity, they sort of forgot me out back. In the sun. In a massive block of orange gelatin.

Between the gelatin melting in the heat and me eating, I was able to dislodge myself after about 45 minutes. With my free hand and my smartphone, I also managed to catch up on some email, so the afternoon wasn't a total waste.
