I was supposed to work from home today, but I went in to do something quick. My intention was to come right back home, but I got to talking, answering my phone, and doing a few things here and there... then I figured, well I may as well watch the show while I'm here. I watch Desperate Housewives at work from time to time, when I can't get into work mode, or when my brain is fried. But I try not to make it obvious, because I wouldn't want my co-workers or anyone else to think I'm just chillin (because I DO get my work done).
But today....
It was like I wasn't even conscious of where I was... I screamed, gasped, cried, held my head, shouted "NOOOO!!!!" and "OH MY GOODNESS" and "WHAT IN THE WORLD????" so many times, you would've thought I was at home. One co-worker came to ask me to proofread something for him, and I had both hands on either side of my face, with my mouth in the "O" position, and my eyes as big as quarters. I didn't even try to hide my shock or the fact that I was watching a show. I was frozen. I couldn't hide it if I wanted to.
I think I told you earlier, at one point, I actually answered my work phone saying "yes, what???" in such an agitated tone.
That episode made me forget it was "just tv."
It was just awesome.
Oh, we talked earlier about Bailey's EXCELLENT acting job, but you know who else really killed? The young girl who said she was raised on a farm? I think she said she was Reed's best friend?? That girl did an awesome job, and they gave her great lines. Or maybe I'm just relating to her because she reminded me of what I would probably do in that situation. Her shock was just so real and so familiar (not that I've ever been in a situation like that). I just really related to her. And when she was facing the shooter, it was like ME on camera. LOL. I just loved it! So glad I watched.
