*sobs*
*sniff*
I seem to be doing that a lot. How come I'm so frelling hormonal all of a sudden? This "girl" shtick really sucks, ya know.
I'm in a tizzy this morning. Thought I'd go into work for 2 or 3 hours just in case the boss decides he'd like to email me there... again. But just as I was out the door, I couldn't find my security badge. The last thing I am absolutely, swear on the Pooh/Singer love and Pooh/KIEF lust, positively certain about is that I had it when I went to work yesterday. I thought I checked to see if I had it when I left work, but now I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure when I got home that it wasn't hooked on my pants when I changed out of my work clothes. *frets*
On good days, I sometimes have my moments. You know, when you find yourself having a brain fart and the keys go into the fridge and the milk goes into the cupboard. Usually when that happens, I catch myself before the fridge door actually closes. But I've been sick since Saturday and was still feeling the residual effects (not to mention having a raging headache at work) that I can't remember what happened yesterday. I remember going to work. I remember sitting at the computer doing work. I remember coming home, but now I'm not so sure I actually did check I had my badge before I left. I remember coming into the house. I remember changing out of my clothes. But I don't remember any of the other mundane little things that occurred between those events. ARGH. There's absolutely nothing worse than being old and senile and still under the foggy haze of sickness.
I've spent the last two hours turning the house upside-down. I even went through the garbage, just in case, although I will be the first to admit that I didn't do anywhere close to a thorough inspection of that. 'Cuz you know, that's not worth it. And also... ICK. I'd go to work and get a temp badge, but that won't let me into my lab and no one else at work right now has access to that lab. I just have to wait until this afternoon when my friend gets in and ask her to see if I left it there, but still... ARGH!! I'm going out of my mind, and this is not helping.
If I did lose it, fine. I guess I'll deal with it. No biggie since my internship is only guaranteed for another 6-8 weeks anyway, and I have all my data here at home. It's just going to suck having to go in and trying to get a new badge. Plus, you know how this is going to make me insane trying to figure out exactly what happened to it. *sigh*
So yeah.... I was all ready to go to work, zip through the rest of my graphs until the boss gets in touch and tells me to redo everything (and I know he will because he never knows exactly what he wants, and yet he is the most finicky person ever... hrmph), and I was going to write up my party rant. But now I can't even concentrate and I'm all flustered. Stupid badge. Stupid senility.
But of course, something happened this morning that gave me an unexpected start. Not sure how real it was because I'm pretty paranoid and mistrusting of everyone (y'all wouldn't screw with me, right -- uhh, nevermind, don't answer that), but after the initial heart attack, it did make me smile. And that's always a good thing.
PS. PoohBro is taking his driving test this morning. Having me on the roads is bad enough, but him? Pray. Pray for your lives.
ETA: Just got a call. The last of the PoohSibs passed his driving test. Are you scared? Because I sure as hell am.
This makes me feel hella old. And the PoohDad said he thought my badge was on my chair, where I normally put it when I don't stick it in my bag. That's what I thought, too, but NO, it's not. Frelling stupid amnesia. WTF. *bangs head*
