Friday OT #1 - Your "Oh ****" Day-Starters
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
Today has been a **** show.
Started at 4 AM with the dog getting sick. So cleaned up vomit for 2 hours. He continued to get sick, so had to take him to the vet....$265 later we find out he has pancreatitis which can kill him. 2nd time he's gotten this in 2 months and 4th time in 3 years. Getting old how much we have to spend on it.
6 week old is fussy/3 year old is whining/wife is stressed/work is insanely busy.....
#fun.

Brother, I feel for you. Might want to reach for the Black Velvet when you get home tonight.
I work from home.....but behaving for another couple hours then yes it'll be drink time.
It's always better to have the kids at your house, then you have a better idea of what's going on.
I have definitely not done this...................twice.
Thankfully, husband leaves ~30 minutes after I do and can take a slightly longer route to work that meets me halfway.
Being unable to find my wallet or car keys suuuuuuucccckkkkks.
Also, stepping barefooted in cat puke is not as funny as it sounds. Not only do you get the warm squishy sensation between your toes, but you now have to clean vomit off your foot and the carpet (which you unknowingly ground deeper into the carpet fibers)

I wake up at 8:40, just enough time to shower, get dressed and drive to work at 9. Garbage day is what gets me, especially when you fill up a full trash bag of diapers every week. Many times had to leave work to get it out by 11 when they usually come. Many times forgot to get it out at all.
Garbage and meetings scheduled before 9.

Waking up to your 6.15a alarm
that you forgot to turn off because you woke up early on Friday and were downstairs taking a shower when it went off so you didn't shut it off and realizing NOOOOOOOO...it's Saturday and I'm wide awake now!!!WAS able to go back to sleep though.
Waking up at 4 AM and hearing the sound of the sump pump running but also a slightly muddy odor and realizing, yes it's running, but no, it isn't pumping. Dreading going to the basement to find last night's 4" rainfall has managed to flood your basement. Panic on what to do first. Then sad realization it's not going to make much difference.
Had that one time and one time coming home from a long weekend and walked into the house from the garage and smelled 'that smell'. It had rained over the weekend and pump system had failed or the electricity had gone off during the storm.
Thankfully I don't live in that house anymore.

Alarm doesn't go off and you wake up an hour+ late
Forgetting my badge, wallet, phone, breakfast and lunch, and/or (if I teleworked the day before) my computer
I-696 is a parking lot (which means 12 Mile Road will be just as bad)
One of the gates is closed (worse if it's Mound Road gate that's closed)
Only one of the three lanes at the gate is open (and it's usually because "it's too cold out" for the guards to do their job
If I'm teleworking on Monday:
I left my computer at work on Thursday/Friday, which means I have to drive to the office and decide whether I'm just going to stay for the day or grab the computer and return home and defeat the purpose of teleworking in the first place
My POS work computer refuses to connect to our home internet (when all the other devices in the house are connected and working)
