Feeling a little uncomfortable

[Hard Fists]

So I got clocked pretty good while sparring the other night. By the time I got home and showered, my eye was swolen up tight and I couldn't open it. D@mn, I haven't had a black eye in about five years. Guess I need to work on slipping a bit more.

Anyway, I work in a government office and wear long button up shirts mostly to cover up my tats and stuff. Now I've got a sh!tload of meetings that I can't skip and my bosses keep stopping by my office to discuss work issues and I have to sit here while everybody looks at my world class shiner.

I'm feeling a little out of place here. I wish I could work at a kung fu school to support my family.

Has anyone else been embarrassed as a result of a fight or sparring session while at their desk job?
