friday's embarrassing moment
Feb. 9th, 2003 11:11 amI've been debating posting about this since it was just so flat out weird and embarrassing and I've decided for some odd reason that I must put it out there.
I was having my Uzbek independent study on Friday and in the middle of discussing the fact the Uzbek doesn't have relative clauses my professor pick an ob tampon off of his desk and starts examining it and flipping it in his fingers. I balk and snatch it out of his hands saying 'oh that must have fallen out of my purse.' He then asks what it is and mentions that one of his students found it the other day under the desk. I quickly change the subject back to relative clauses meanwhile my mind is reeling. If someone found it this week that means that one of my spare tampons, which I keep in my purse which may have rolled out, would have been there for 2 weeks since I missed my independent study last week. I still can't believe he didn't know what it was - although he is almost 80 and his wife must have gone through menopause 30 years ago and he has 2 sons, but still that it ended up being found by a student and placed on his desk is a little odd unless said student was also clueless as to what it was, and then that he starts playing with it in the middle of lecture. Too weird.
