A tangle with the copier

I am hoping that this isn't one of those "you had to be there" sort of stories but here it goes anyway:

Yesterday at work, I was copying a 150 page set of exhibits. I needed this copied 4 times. I set the copier and was standing there waiting. I started to lean over to check on the stacks and I tripped over my own high heeled boot and fell! I knocked all 3 sorting trays off the copier and was laying under them while copies continued to pour out and land on my face. I couldn't even get up because I was laughing so hard! My boss came running in and he couldn't help but laugh. He did, however, ask if I needed help up and if I was alright! Then we both laughed and laughed! It took me 2 hours to sort out all the pages that went flying!

*NOTE: I was not injured in this fall, other than my pride.

Oh - I am glad you were okay! Pride heals quickly.
