So. Here’s the scenario. I am at work, talking with with one of my peers whom I happen to supervise. We are having a fairly serious conversation when the screensaver on my computer kicks in. I have most of my personal photos on my computer and my screensaver is a random display of these photos. Each photo appears on the screen for about 3 seconds.
This photo pops on the screen. I try my best to make sure that I am speaking and NOT looking at the screen. I have one eye on the screen, and one eye on the person in the room making sure HER eyes are NOT on the screen. It was a LOOONG 3 seconds. When the photo finally disappeared, she calmly, without cracking a smile, said “I saw that.”
Shit.
Even though it was at my expense, I could see the humour in this self-inflicted awkward situation. I smirked and squirmed a little… Apparently noticing my embarrassment, she said, “I think it’s cool that you are self-confident enough to take pictures like that.”
Yeah… that’s it… Self-confident.

My biggest surprise is that you’re embarassed. You’re a hunky attractive man, I mean, just look at that snook-like manly chest/neck hair! You should have been pointing at the picture on the screen, making SURE she saw how impressive you look with your game-face on while wearing a wifebeater, letting her know not to trifle with the likes of you for she would surely regret it!

Self confidence or under the influence?

Under the influence of self confidence?
