Today was a strange day

[pinksonia]

Thank you all for your kind words this morning. I promise not to spend a lot of time posting vague passive-agressive messages because, well, it would annoy me, and I try not to do things which would annoy me to other people.

After my bad mood, the morning went through a comedy of errors that usually would have mad it a bad day, but for some reason mostly teased me out of my mood. So, right after posting, I went out to my car to go to work and found the car dead. Apparently I had not turned my headlights off last night after going to the grocery store.

I called AAA and they came and jumped me with in a half an hour, which meant I arrived at work only 45mins after I would normally be there and still before over half of the people I work with.

Then when I walked into the lab, a new-ish crew chief was complaining that the crew she was left with wouldn't do their work and, in fact, were mad at her because she wouldn't let all four of them take a trip to Burger King because one of the "Really needed greasy food [for a hangover] and wasn't fit to drive herself". Really people?! If you are not fit to drive from work to the Burger King, you are also not fit to be driving from your house to the office. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO WORK DRUNK.

But really, by that point I was feeling much better.

I am facepalming at the Burger King run situation. Idk why people think it's a good idea to drive to work when they're hungover :/ they may as well still be drunk.

Apparently, later on in the day this particular person did admit to still being drunk. I don't understand why people don't realize that that is the time to call out sick.
