Awkward times with Katherine

Do you remember the time I ordered an automated pet feeder on Amazon?
And then as I picked it up from the mailroom I ran into my boss at the stairs with my giant box.

"Ooh a package! What did you get?"
"....uh Books..(insert needless ramble about books here)"

I spontaneously lied to avoid saying "automated pet feeder" (way, way way too nerdy, and style cramping) and then had to pretend the box was heavy with my imaginary books all the way up the stairs. I even had to decline his offer to help me carry my box cause actually it weighed next to nothing and it would have given me away as a liar.

Afterwards I kicked the box under my desk and crossed my fingers that he wouldn't swing by my desk to check out my new books later on.

Sometimes I feel like Larry from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
