OK who had 6 days? Who predicted that in 6 days I would have my first Pat Moment here at Ohio? If you picked 6 days congratulations, please come down to claim your prize a nice upside down cake.
Well I knew it was going to happen eventually I was just hoping it would have been more than a week before I embarrassed myself in front of my coworkers, but again it is me. Let me set the scene for you...
When you work in athletics you get a lot of cool "swag" which is just basically promotional crap like key chains, tote bags, and toilet plungers, you know the usual. Since I have started here I was given a lot of Ohio State "swag" a cup, a pom pom, a stress balloon, t-shirts, and a water bottle. That day I was playing with the stress balloon, now these are balloons with the Ohio State logo on it that you can grip it to relieve all that stress that builds up for a 23 year old like me. I was really griping this balloon because again I have a lot of stress in my life and just when the stress was building up to a point of rage where I could have gone postal on everyone when all of the sudden the balloon popped and the contents that was inside, which was sand, went all over me, my desk, and my computer. Of course all my coworkers laughed at what happen to me while I am sitting in a pile of sand at my work station. I tried to brush myself off, but you know sand it will not go away just as bad as glitter. Just chalk up another moment for Pat, but at least this time I did not cry until I got home, then I jumped into the shower with my clothes on, turned on the cold water, got into the fetal position and just cried.
