Most embarrassing moment (that I’m willing to put in a magazine): I had the hiccups one day at work; I was on the service desk and had to call someone to their register. So over the loudspeaker I go, “Katie to your reg-HICCUP.” The entire store heard it, and all of the customers waiting in line laughed. My face turned bright red! But at least I was laughing with them.
Words of wisdom: “Everything happens for a reason.”
