You won't believe what I did.

[Betticus]

I forced myself to go to bed early last night, got up this morning, washed up, did my pushups, situps and squats. I hit up the grocery store, grabbed a salad mix and stuff. I got all the way out to work (25 miles) and I was thinking that there was an awful lot of traffic for a Saturday morning.

Turns out that the rotating shifts caught up to me and I thought it was Saturday. I work 7am to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday, 3pm to 11pm Monday and Tuesday and have Wednesday thru Friday off. So I get all the way out there and find out that it's one of my days off.

I gotta win that lottery soon!

*giggles*

I've done that before. Really a pain in the ass when you get up at 3 am and you're on the road by 4 then realize you had the day off.

 

[HB1965]

I've done the opposite. I used to work 3rd shit and my schedule was a two week schedule. It stayed the same, but the days were not the same between week 1 and week 2. I used to get confused as to which week it was.

I made coffee yesterday and forgot to use coffee. So I had a pot of hot water.

 

[vffan]

Oh no Betticus! At least you are now prepared for tomorrow

haha, my friend's old roommate did something similar, except it was with ramen. She forgot to add water to the cup and burned it in the microwave.

I have a solution for that. I like mine black, percolated, preferably walking, grounds optional - if you're more particular about the taste, this solution may not work for you:

Stanley Thermos - unbreakable, holds about 1.5 pots, has a pour groove in the screw cap to help keep the heat in (you don't have to take the cap off to fill your cup). I've filled it with boiling coffee at 5 pm, taken it to a campout (winter, overnight low of about 15 F) got up at 6am or so and poured myself a still steaming cup of joe.

Works even better in the house - no more stumbling around into furniture waiting for the coffee to make, then the crushing disappointment of finding out your sleep-walking self never actually put /coffee/ into the pot.

I used to work with a guy that couldn't seem to comprehend daylight savings time. He would always show up the same time for work. One time he would be an hour early, and another time, he would be an hour late. I guess it does balance out in the end.

 

[Betticus]

Oh good, I thought I was the only one who did stuff like this.

 

[Netzach]

Nope, I've showed up shiny and sales-stepford at my retail gig before on my days off.

stepford?

I usually use "corporate drone" but I like the stepford reference.

Button pushing monkey or I could replace you with trained monkeys are usually used by the management.

I've done this, except I'd gotten the kids up and ready and everything before I realized their was no school. At least you could go home and go back to bed, or do whatever. I had some very awake and very pissed off kids to deal with.

Glad I could make you feel better.

It's just good to not be alone in this kind of thing.

Okay, there is this Yoplait light yogurt commercial where this girl brings her clothes in to the dry cleaners to be taken in. Then she tells the lady that it's all the *insert dessert flavor* she's been eating and gets into a discussion of how she wants the clothes taken in and the seamstress keeps telling her they need to be let out.

I don't know why but the curly brunette in that commercial is just crazy hot!

 

[graceanne]

I hear that. lol

 

[Betticus]

Allright, I have a bath to take and some shaving to do and I work tomorrow (for real this time).

So I'm out, nite all.

Sleep well! And if you hear any . . . odd noises in the other room, don't worry. Nothing is going on. No one is . . . rescuing your poor cocoa treee. *ahem* *smiles angelically*

Done that.... and I've made coffee and forgot to put in the filter. Not a good thing.

 

[Blushing Bottom]

Been there...done that.

In this harried life one can do all sorts of bizarre things. Our minds become so crammed packed with "Oh my God I need to..." that we make silly blunders.

I forget my house keys at least once every 3 months but luckily there is a set with my neighbor for that very purpose.

I see that your cocoa tree "rescue" was somehow thwarted! Possibly by the locked doors.

hahahahaahhahahahaah
