Poor sister Jammies. It will get better.
...you put your underwear on backwards.(sisterCyn, thank you. I figured 'tis better to laugh at my morning, right?)
Might as well laugh. It sure as hell beats the alternatives.
You realize you have left the house without brushing your teeth, washing your face, or changing out of your ancient dog-walk sneakers.
You get out of your car to walk to work only to realize you're still wearing your house slippers or big fuzzy socks or flip flops... crap - have to go home to change that! Yeah, no... that's never happened to me. #sarcasm

You spend about three or four hours completing a brake job on your vehicle only to discover that the mental midget at Napa Auto Parts gave you one brake caliper and set of brake pads that are the correct size and another set that aren't. He had a lazy eye. I should've known.
Let me up. I've had enough.
Let me up. I've had enough.
Sorry, Clark. :(You know it's going to be a bad day when just as you tell yourself for the 7th time to stop putting off going to the bathroom, the fire alarm goes off.
You know it's going to be bad day when you drive 4 hours in the middle of the night for a 7AM presentation with bankers and find you have left your high heels at home and have to wear slippers with your business skirt/suit.

Yeah, no....."And then you go home because you don't have the proper shoes, Cynthia... and then realize you really didn't want to go in the first place and forgetting your shoes was probably a sign you shouldn't go?
That'd be my rationale.

...when you go in to work 2 and a half hours early at 6:30 a.m. so you can have time to relax and grab some coffee and breakfast and put on your makeup before a 9am presentation and decide to test the equipment and set everything up, only to realize nothing's working and you're already getting help desk calls and your support staff still isn't due in for another hour and thirty minutes... and then after 2 hours of frantic testing/diagnostics that slipped away from you too quickly, you realize the hard drive crashed and you have to start a presentation in 15 minutes, so you look at yourself in the mirror and you realize you look like Pippi Longstocking, only you don't have cute braids, just hair that sticks up wildly, you still don't have your make up on, you might have sweat rings around the armpit area... and you decide to go on camera anyway thinking to yourself "Oh well, I'll never see these people again" knowing full and well that you most probably will see them more often than you think you will. And denial is a bitch, especially when you haven't had your coffee yet. And then after your two hour presentation (during which you got to watch a live birth, mind you, still with no caffeine in your system), your coworker asks you what happened when you spaced out on camera before the introduction. That totally was my morning last Wednesday. The worst day in a long time...
'two hour presentation (during which you got to watch a live birth, mind you...' of a human? I can't even imagine what your presentation was for. You get the prize. I was just selling insurance and pensions.

*hugs Heidi* That sounds like a truly terrible day!Catherine, you have my utter empathy and sympathy.
You know it's going to be a bad day when you wake yourself up sneezing at 1:30 and continue to sneeze every time you fall asleep all night.
Jammies wrote: "You know it's going to be a bad day when you wake yourself up sneezing at 1:30 and continue to sneeze every time you fall asleep all night."I hate that! Poor Jammies, I hope you can sleep better tonight.
That's a bummer Jammies, you're not allergic to sleep are you?
Jim, if I ever find out I'm allergic to sleeping, I'll just jump in the Cuyahoga River in mid-winter. I love to sleep!
Well here's to hoping that never happens.
Back when the river used to catch fire occasionally that would have been a warm place to go.
Jim, I was going to answer you, but the benadrool has shoved my brain cells to the side.
... you find yourself on the sidewalk outside your building waiting for the fire truck to come.Thankfully the fire remained isolated on the third floor.
Thankfully you're okay! *hugs the stuffing out of Janice*
::sticks most of Janice's stuffing back in::Glad you're okay.

YIKES. Scary stuff.
Thanks everyone. I was standing at my desk thinking, "Should I take this paperwork? Should I grab my pc?" I had my iPad, my purse, my phone, and grabbed my laptop before I headed out the door. I looked over to one man standing off to himself. I whispered to one of the women on my floor, "At least somebody was dressed today!"They had the fire out before the

"Mmm, time for a nice peanut butter... tampon?"
...you drive the hour and a half to work in NoVa traffic, only to realize you left the power cord to your laptop sitting at home on the kitchen table and must now drive all the way home and back, only to sit all day with nothing to really do when you get back to the office anyway.

Argh! I just looked down and realized I'm still in my stupid dog walk sneakers AGAIN.
Oh, damn, Sarah, I'm sorry. I hate that.
Sarah Pi wrote: "Argh! I just looked down and realized I'm still in my stupid dog walk sneakers AGAIN."Easy solution: keep your work shoes (or some spare flats) in your desk.
Huh. That's a good idea. Thanks!
Sarah Pi wrote: "Huh. That's a good idea. Thanks!"Yes it is. I went to work in odd shoes one day last week.
when your alarm clock doesn't say 6:30 AM; it says 11:15 AM
Elizabeth wrote: "when your alarm clock doesn't say 6:30 AM; it says 11:15 AM"That's a serious sleep in!
Yes, I'll just have to guess which shoes would be most unobtrusive no matter what I was wearing.
Sarah, I've seen these in the drugstore, maybe they would work? http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Scholls-Fast...
Jammies wrote: "Sarah, I've seen these in the drugstore, maybe they would work? http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Scholls-Fast..."Those are fine if you don't have to do any major walking. It's like walking around in flimsy bedroom slippers, but they look presentable. God help you if you have to wear them in the rain.
I think Sarah just needs a pair to keep in her desk for when she forgets to change her shoes after dog-walking.
There are very few situations i which I would wind up in any trouble for my grubby sneakers. I just was walking around feeling good about what I was wearing yesterday, and then I happened to look down and realize my ensemble was compromised.
