I’d really put my foot in it this time. Broken shoe in hand, trying to hide all five foot nine of me behind the potted palm, I surveyed the damage.
The firefighters had finished packing up the last of their gear and had just allowed us back into the building. It would take days to clean up this mess.
“Jackson. My office now,” Mr. Finch bellowed, his face a furious red, water dripping from his hair onto the shoulders of his thousand dollar wool suit.
“Yes, sir,” I said, limping around the fire suppressant foam soaking the carpet and burned cabling.
I was still in awe as to how quickly the firefighters had managed to put out the blaze and get the sprinklers turned off. But nobody at Finch & Associates was happy about this impromptu opportunity to see the new fire suppression system in action—especially not Mr. Finch.
I sat in the hard metal chair across from his desk, waiting for what I was sure would be my worst dressing down ever. My wet hot pink polyester blouse stuck to me, and with the air conditioner blowing frigid air into the room, I knew my nipples were standing at attention. I crossed my arms trying to hide them.
I, Camilla Jackson, had been cursed. I wasn’t ugly or dimwitted—I could have fixed either of those problems. No, I was without a doubt the world’s biggest klutz with an uncanny ability to move through life creating one disaster after another. Just when I thought my luck had changed, something always happened to prove me wrong, and usually in a grand and spectacular way.
In high school, I’d been a member of the school band with a promising chance of joining the university band in the future. That was until I turned left when everyone else went right during the half-time show. It’s amazing how two seconds out of formation can lead to disaster.
