It's time for another Aspie Moment.
<<< An aside to my 18 (ish) regular readers:
'Aspie Moments' are not really a true category of behaviour as defined by the greater world (such as the ever-popular 'Senior Moments'), but are rather my own:
moments of extreme embarrassment, silliness, discomfort, anger, or other assorted craziness
that are precipitated by my Asperger Syndrome. Of course, these 'moments' could happen to anyone - even NT (neurotypical) people, but since this is my blog I have decided what the phrase defines in this context. Aspie Moments happen because of, or are exacerbated by, the social clumsiness inherent in my Asperger Syndrome.
end of aside>>>
Back to my Aspie Moment:
Back to my Aspie Moment:
I enter the elevator at work, and two coworkers enter after me; a girl and a guy. The elevator is full with about 8 people in it. The girl worked as my training coach in my position, so I know her on a friendly basis, sort of.
Me: "Hi, how are you?"
Girl: "Vicki? I didn't recognize you. You look different. Are you wearing makeup?"
Me: "Really? Huh, well I was wearing makeup before."
Girl: "Oh, it's your hair. You have it back."
Me: "Really? Huh, well I was wearing makeup before."
Girl: "Oh, it's your hair. You have it back."
Me: "Oh yeah, I've been wearing these hairbands, cuz my hair is falling out. It's my camouflage."
Girl looks at me, kind of surprised, so I explain further:
Me: "I'm not sick, it's just caused by my blood pressure meds."
The elevator stopped on their floor, and they say goodbye. A few minutes later, I realize that it isn't camouflage if you tell everyone about it. Oops. I'm still telling people though.

I had a moment similar to the aspie moments...
First, some background:
I was having my bone scan last week (my dr hasn't called so I know that everything's fine - yay!). First a person gets injected with a radioactive tracer that attaches itself to the bones and is excreted through urine. Sometimes when people go pee, it splashes and they get a false positive for activity on their thigh (or they get pee on their hand and they touch their head, leaving a false positive there).
So anyways, I was getting the injection and talking to the lab tech:
LabTech: Come back in 3 hours..
Me: Ok
LabTech: Drink a lot of water in the meantime, and be sure to go to the bathroom.
Me: And don't touch myself.
I was referring to the false positive stuff. I didn't realize why the lab tech blushed and looked away until after I left.
