A Socially Awesome Awkward Penguin post.
You remember the new colleague's name on her first day. Triumph. You use it warmly all week. On Friday someone tells you it's the name of the person she replaced. Your date laughs so hard she cries. You're on fire. Then she points at your teeth, where a piece of spinach has been sitting since the starters. You drop your keys at the till and catch them before they hit the floor. The queue gasps. You give a small bow. You then leave without your shopping. "How are you?" "Good, you?" "Good, you?" The lift doors open. You both get out on the wrong floor rather than go round again. **Why it caught on:** the Adélie penguin from a National Geographic photo, already famous as Socially Awkward Penguin, got a background split between his awesome red and his awkward blue, because most social life is both, one after the other, in front of witnesses.
