office work

so at office I am usually a nomadic member, moving from this desk to that desk without a seat of my own, hoping someone will be absent at work whose seat I can oust for a day ...all this becoz they know I am not here for the long-haul and shall be gone once law school starts in a few months. today however, I was offered a whole big ROOM!! just to myself. so I am in this gigantic room all by myself, feeling a little overwhelmed and embarrassed considering that my boss is outside sharing his cubicle with two other people!! in a few hours, suddenly, I felt someone patting my head. half-looking I ask "do you need the room?" he answers, "no dear, you sit here" and leaves. within the next 15 seconds, my boss rushes in and says, "Tina you have to vacate the room immediately, the New York City governor is here, this is his room." !! and then I realize, it is David Patterson who patted my head, whom I nonchalantly offered my room, which as it turned out is HIS room! my foot is permanently in my mouth now :-/
