EGO - an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority
I'm feelin' pretty good about myself today. The guy at the cell phone store gave me a free charger yesterday .. because I'm so smokin' hot.
WHAT?
Well .. that's my version of the story.
Here's what happened. I had just finished teaching a fitness class so I was rather sweaty and smelly. BUT, I was dressed in my usual work-out attire .. short, shorts and a tight-fitting shirt.
At Verizon, you immediately check in on a computer when you arrive. Then you wait.
I did that and in the next moment a Verizon employee, who turned out to be the manager, walked by, hesitated and then asked me if everything was okay. I said yes and then proceeded to ask him a question about my phone. It hadn't been charging so I was trying to figure out why. He took my phone and charger and tried to figure out the problem. It turned out the charger was broken. So he found me a new one, opened it, had me sign a piece of paper and then said "Here you go."
WHAT? No charge?
I had my old charger forever so I went into the store expecting to pay for a new one. NOPE. He gave it to me for free.
WHY?
Well, it had to have been because I was so smokin' hot. Right? (EGO! EGO! EGO!)
YEP. That was my story and I was sticking to it.
As soon as I left the store, I even called my husband to tell him how smokin' hot his wife was. He chuckled.
Well .... why do you think this happened? It couldn't have been because he was being an effective manager and providing great customer service. Right?
NAH. I like the other story better.
Oh by the way, I also had three children with me in the store. They were eating and occasionally tossing grapes to one another. But it couldn't have been that he just wanted me in and out of that store ASAP. Right?
NAH. I like the other story better.
Now, of course, after actually talking and writing about this incident (and how I felt about it) ... I feel completely ridiculous.

It's because you're smokin' hot. No doubt about it.
Hey, Nancy. I'm sure it's because you are smokin hot ;)
You guys going to Shenanigan's tonight or the Pub?
I don't know. I think the jury is still out. I remember back in college when she was a Chi Omega sister. She was kind of into herself back then so it wouldn't surprise me at all if her ego was still a bit inflated.
Yo, Nancy. What's up with you girl? I come out postin' on your blog and I don't get nuttin' in response. Girl, you is doin' me like you did me back in college....blowin' me off cuz your ego's so big. Who do you think you is? I ain't gonna post no more if you dont send some luv my way. Perhaps we can hook up at 80s night on Thursday night...What you say, baby?
Hey....Nance....What's up? What good is a blog if you fail to respond to your faithful followers?
