I was in a morning meeting sharing my screen to go over some project notes. Everything was fine until my little productivity app decided to remind me “time to stretch, king” in giant pink letters across the top of the screen.
I froze. Everyone saw it. My manager started laughing so hard she had to mute. I tried to play it off like it was some team morale thing but no one bought that. Someone even screenshotted it for the group chat. Now it’s become a full office meme. Every meeting since at least one person greets me with “good morning, king” or asks if I’ve done my stretches yet. I can’t even look at my computer without hearing them laugh in my head.
That night I got a text from my coworker that just said “stretch, king.” No context. Just that. It’s been two days and they still call me that.
TL;DR: Screen shared during a meeting and my app flashed “time to stretch, king” to the entire team. Now I’m stuck with a new nickname I will never escape.
