I had an awkward moment today. I was in a meeting with a group, listening to a woman with dark hair and bangs covering her eyes. She listened with her face turned down to the table. She looked up at me with her big eyes and gave a snarky, dead pan, sarcastic comment. In my mind, I'm thinking, "Oh, I can't believe it. I'm sitting with April Ludgate and I didn't even know it before. How could I have missed it?" April Ludgate, in case you don't know, is the apathetic, snarky, capable but under performing employee on the "Parks and Rec" sitcom. April Ludgate is very unusual and so is this woman I know. I'm so into my own discovery that I don't listen to a thing she is saying. I ask her to repeat. She rolls her eyes at me (JUST LIKE APRIL LUDGATE WOULD HAVE DONE) and repeats herself again but I'm not listening because I'm so entertained by her eye rolling. Awkward. So I just smile and pretend I heard her. I hope I don't accidentally call her April because that would be even more awkward. Some people ask me how I can stand going to so many meetings. They have no idea just how entertaining meetings can be sometimes. People fascinate me. I can't believe I didn't recognize April Ludgate before.
