Ever have one of those days where you just didn't do anything right?

[alarimer]

That's me. Today and for quite few months. But today especially; it seems that I cannot do anything right.

I'm always saying or doing the wrong thing at work, especially in email. I never copy the right people; my questions are vague and they don't seem to understand what I want. I procrastinate because I just can't face doing some things. There are so many piddling little details that I seem to forget (or don't know) that I find out too late. I'm nervous because I have a big presentation on Thursday. I'm not so worried about that as I am about the potential questions afterwards.

I took part of last Friday off because I had a pounding headache, so, after I did the one thing I was supposed to do, I left. I made sure it was okay with my actual boss (he works in another office) and my boss's boss (who works in my office- don't ask, it's kind of screwed up) was gone, so I figured it was okay. But, apparently, the thing I was supposed to do on Friday (and that I DID do) wasn't good enough, so there was a fire to put out today. I guess I'm not allowed to go home sick. I have not had a day off that wasn't a holiday or because of illness since September. Needless to say, I'm a little stressed and burnt out.

And then, THEN, I got home and couldn't get into my apartment. The exterminators had been here, and locked the lower lock (the one on the knob) and I couldn't get the door open to save my life. It took me, and I'm not kidding, 20 minutes. I'm going to call tomorrow because I think there might be something wrong with the lock, but still, I was out there in the 40 degree weather worried that I wasn't going to be able to get inside. So I had a meltdown. Then felt totally stupid, when it opened. Lately, I've been a mess, I don't mind saying, but today kind of took the cake.

1. FYI moment: it's a full moon.

2. I don't think that explains last week, or the week before

I think I need a vacation, if only I had the time and money to take one.

3. spring isn't far off. can you go outside at lunch time?

imo: sunlight and fresh air will help clear your head . . .

4. I'm totally with you.

I just fell flat on my face at the office. Accident report, ice pack, blah blah blah. And I'm on the Safety Committee.

6. Ouch!

Sorry about that.

[graywarrior]

5. Yep, it started yesterday

It's been one thing after another and apparently ALL my fault.

7. That would be everyday for me. I'm pretty much a real life Larry David.

[alarimer]

8. I'm more like George Constanza

Sleeping under my desk.

Or pretending to work.

But I accidentally get some things done while pretending to work.

[Initech]

9. Or yelling fire in a crowded room!

[rrneck]

10. Are you kidding? I've had decades like that. nt

12. My days like that usually start with "GOT UP".

[raccoon]

13. Might be something wrong with the lock. I live in an old apartment complex, and sometimes when

humidity is high it is real hard to unlock the door.

One day at a time. I feel your pain. I rarely get to take off either.

14. only on days ending in

Y!
