My Mouth

What is it about my mouth. How is it I can say the most wrong thing at the most right time!

So I am sitting at my desk minding my own business, in walks this man. He is wearing a suit, which is not uncomon in a hospital and talking to everyone like we are best friends. I am talking on the phone to a Physician about a critically ill patient and listening to a position report from my helicopter. He walks up to my desk and says, very loudly because of all the radio traffic, "why are ya'll sitting in the dark?" Instead of saying, The overhead lights cause a glare on the 4 computer screens we each have and the 52 inch monitor we use for tracking our helicopter. I, in my infinite wisdom say, " We keep the lights off so peope will not come in here and bother us." To which he replied, "oh" and turned around and walked out. When I am off the phone I ask one of the ladies that work next door to us who he was. They reply he is the CEO of our hospital. Real nice!
