A colleague and I were chatting the other day about some of our most embarrassing moments. (Yes, there has been more than one...) That got me reminiscing about a particularly embarrassing moment here at work involving JLo underwear and Google Notifier.
I was still pretty new to the company at the time and was gearing up for my first big Marketing presentation to the senior management team. You know, plans for the coming year, budget, etc. etc.
After sitting through a pretty intense discussion about financials, sales numbers, strategic focus of the company etc. it's finally it my turn to present. Just as I share my desktop over WebEx and turn to face the senior management team in the room, a Google snippet pops up.
"Give us JLo undies, or give us death!"
I am mortified.
You see I had been conversing with some friends earlier that morning about getting together for lunch and maybe even squeezing in some quick shopping. JLo lingerie was on the hit list.
It just so happened that my one friend couldn't quite contain her enthusiasm for the excursion and Google Notifier, being Google Notifier, was more than happy to let me know that she had sent me a message on the subject - "Give us JLo undies, or give us death!" The timing however was unfortunate.
Slightly red faced, I quickly tossed my hair (you know... for a little dramatic flair), laughed and said: "Now that I have your attention, let's talk marketing."
Thankfully the presentation was a hit and no one asked any further questions about JLo or underwear. But lesson learned...

The really sad part is that, while it was all my fault, I didn't even buy the JLo undies. It was Sherry!
We have found you.... They ARE very nice undies.
But the best part of the story was your excellent recover.
