I’ve never worked in a real skyscraper. Which is why I was so fascinated when I was in Boston working with clients on an event. Working for a few days with amazing views of downtown Boston, Charles River, and the bay was a unique experience. But wasn’t without peril. As one of my clients was showing me around the office, I spied a beautiful view of the bay, and in my excitement ran boob first into a transparent glass conference room wall, bouncing back stunned and confused. I had moved so fast, that it made a large bump noise and my breasts hurt for hours afterwards.
My client looked at me in shock, “Oh no! Sorry, there should be stickers to show that it was glass as this has happened before.” But it was apparent no one had so quickly and with such force done that before. I tried to pretend that it was fine as we went back to work. Later I posted on facebook what had happened, and then my computer starting beeping with friends laughing at me. The client who had been there asked why I was getting so many messages. Now that I’d spent a few days with them, I felt like they would also enjoy the joke, so explained what happened. The entire room started laughing with me about my mistake of trying to see the view too quickly.
