What A Screw Up

My wonderful day started with taking my co-worker's lunch hour. Long story short, we switched hours yesterday. I took hers and she took mine. It was for training, etc. Well today, I forgot to resort back to my regular 1 o' clock hour. Poor gal had to wait until two hours later b/c I took her time slot. She wasn't mad at me; we just laughed about it afterwards. I felt guilty so I gave her a twenty and told her "to have one on me." She didn't fight me on giving back my money by the way.

A little later I come to find out that our office alarm system hasn't been 'arming' for the past two months. Long story short: I forgot to reset the alarm trigger which was a breaker that wouldn't allow the system to arm. It took a secretary and a cop to tell me that running two days worth of tests. I had a piece of cake celebrating the anniversaries of a few in the back, yet that slice of humble pie couldn't be avoided. I didn't get my ass chewed or anything, just a rubberband flung at me.

A little later our safe was fixed. Long story short: the asses at the padlock company had sent me a newer version of the lock but didn't tell me. Half a year later in the making, I finally get it done. I felt dumb even though it wasn't my fault. I busted my ass trying to work a Honda with the instruction booklet to a BMW. Exception being that all models looked the same!

A little later I gave the wrong info to the wrong person. It took me only a few seconds to realize it and get it back, but nevertheless it takes a while to get the right info to the right person. Nuff said! It was toward the end of the day........no harm, no foul.

As I leave work I gave misinformation to a friend. Long story short: I called St Steve's and asked for Mass times. I could barely make out what the lady said. I did hear 5:30 and 7PM. That sounded right, and I called my buddy to heckle him about him telling me it started @ 5. I was hauling but to church after work until I called the phone service. Sure enough I called him back and told him about the 5:30 and 7PM schedule. Well I arrive to St Steve's early and my buddy shows up. No one was there but a few peeps. I asked father as he walked in; sure enough, I was wrong. The Mass is tomorrow for the Assumption, not today.

Its 8:05 right now....what else can go wrong?

What an idiot!
