A conversation that occurred while waiting for my 2PM staff meeting to start:

Co-worker #1: MM, you have a huge smudge on your right cheek.

Co-worker #2: Yeah, it looks like you just buried your face in mud.

Both co-workers begin to laugh uncontrollably.

MM: Huh?

I quickly get up to check my reflection in the glass window. I turn my head from side to side…repeatedly. For the life of me I cannot see anything on my face. I shrug it off as them just being annoying and retake my seat.

Co-worker #1: No seriously, you have a large brown mark on your face.

Co-worker #2: She’s not lying. You really do.

Co-worker #2 points her finger at my face. I quickly back away from her hand.

MM: Well clearly it’s not that huge because I couldn’t see anything on my face.

Co-worker #2 wets her thumb with saliva and rubs my cheek while my hands flail in the air trying to get her to stop. Side note: I SHIT YOU NOT this happened. What am I? Five? And what happened to personal space? Ugh.

Co-worker #1: You know what? It actually looks like chocolate. Have you been eating chocolate?

MM: I had a mini Toblerone after lunch.

Co-worker #2: Ah, the pieces fall into place. Well clearly you suck at eating because it’s all over your face.

The laughing resumes.

And once again, according to CNN Money, this is the best job in the world?
