That Awkward Moment
That awkward moment at the beginning of each semester when you run into somebody you know and blank on the person's name.
That awkward moment when you're waiting for the doctor in the exam room and you don't know whether you're supposed to get undressed.
That awkward moment when your email account is hacked, and an email goes out to all of your contacts explaining that you are stuck in Scotland and need money wired immediately, and a couple of weeks later you cross paths with Dr. Hrabowski and he mentions getting a strange email and asks if everything is OK.
That awkward moment during a job interview when you're asked questions about work experiences you've never had, and it dawns on you that you somehow accidentally submitted the "just playing around with random text and formats" version of your resume.
That awkward moment when you're driving Welcome Week speaker Maura Cullen from her hotel to the campus and you realize that you've accidentally gotten on I-95 heading south, and there's no exit for five miles.
That awkward moment at the Wilkens Ave. Giant when you make eye contact with a student you know well from UMBC, and you're wearing a t-shirt, sweat pants and a baseball cap, about which you're suddenly a little self-conscious, but as you wave and start to say hello, the student blows right past you, having failed to recognize you, but then you make eye contact with another, random Giant customer who is smirking because he saw the whole thing.
That awkward moment when you post a list of some of your own awkward moments, and you wonder whether anyone is going to make it all OK by posting comments with awkward moments of their own.
