just call me grace.

boy oh boy, was i ever the graceful one today at work. this afternoon i received a call from a texas representative's office. i work for an executive in a state agency and we interact with and talk to legislator's offices pretty frequently. this particular phone call was in regards to a constituent's concern about this or that, blah, blah, blah. i was half-listening, doing a decent enough job of following the story when all of a sudden i blurted out: "well dang! i just totally had a brain fart." silence on the other end. i immediately thought, "did i just say BRAIN FART?" who says brain fart? i mean, i understand that it is a relatively common phrase, but i wouldn't think that the most professional people in the professional world go around saying, "dang" and "brain fart." if you think i am overreacting, just say the words, "brain fart" out loud. do it. see??? it's gross! and embarrassing! class-act, that's me.
