Let's make this easy and just run through a list of graceful things that I did today:
-During a conference session, dropped Laura's poster tube on the ground, thereby causing a loud "thud" to reverberate throughout the room.
-Got slightly lost leading Whitecastle to Alewife, causing both of us to walk an extra 3 blocks in the 90 degree weather (he was wearing a suit, and constantly aired his displeasure-- as he often is).
-Lost my grasp of the cabdriver's change, leading a dollar bill to fly away from my hand and down the sidewalk (and was luckily saved by a nearby construction worker).
It has not been a smooth morning. In fact, it has been a hectic few days. Walking around with Laura's poster (while I didn't have anything to present myself) certainly didn't help.
Whitecastle: So you had a poster here?
Moi: No.
Whitecastle: You were just carrying a poster?
Moi: I can see how that would be confusing to you- but yes.
