Today was an absolutely absurd day and you know what?  I couldn't stop laughing at all the stuff that went crazy wrong!  If it was another day of the week, I probably would have gotten angry, but as it is Friday, I just couldn't help but laugh.  

Everyone called out at the office today.  Seriously!  They either worked from home or called in sick and it was literally just me.  The thing about that is, everyone who did either of those things thought there would be someone who backed them up in the office to do the stuff that can't be done remotely.  NOPE!  Just me!  At times I felt like Lucy without an Ethel or French without a Saunders.  I was walked through a bunch of things over the phone though and we made it through just fine.  

The first burst of laughter came when I was instant messaging back and forth with my boss figuring out how to deal with the challenges we knew we were going to have when all of a sudden blood started gushing out of my nose, all over my hands, desk, papers, floor mat and the lap area of my pants.  FYI - Tide pen does NOT take out blood from pants.  I've always been prone to bloody noses, ever since I was a little kid, so I didn't freak out.  I stopped getting them regularly a few years ago (apart from when I would go to higher altitudes) and then about 18 months ago, they started back up and I've been having 3-5 a week.....except for the last week, where I've had NONE!  Not a single one.  Weird, right?  When I do have them, they usually aren't bad and stop in a few minutes.  Boy, not today!  It went on for a long while, probably because I was laughing so hard and saying "Shit!" over and over again as I scrambled to get more tissues. If they ever luminol the office, it's going to light up like a Christmas tree and they're going to think it is a crime scene!

Thank goodness nothing got on my blouse, so no one on my weekly Zoom call knew, HA!  With this group, I totally would have gotten shit for it!

I think I was able to calm the stressed-out folks who were working from and worried about their stuff not getting done and like I said, we didn't suffer at all from people not being there.

So I can't say it was a bad day, and that's a good thing!

Bring on the weekend!!!!

If it happens on Monday though, I'm probably going home sick. HAHAHAHA!!!
