It's Monday....

[jk703]

And I have finally woken up... (It's 9ish, and I was at work by 7:45am)

So... I got up, and was getting ready. Boys were leaving, and I'm leaving shortly after, getting dressed and bagged packed. Head to work, start working.... meanwhile, an hour later, I use the restroom. Washing my hands, I see ------------- me and I'm wearing my sweater inside out and backwards!!! Only the funniest thing is that the sweater has a HUGE white tag!!! My initial reaction was "No one told me!!!" Then I started cracking up. Apparently, I didn't look at myself after I threw my sweater on (I have a tank top underneath), or before I left the house!

So, I come out of the restroom, and say to my friend "No one told me... (laughingly)" and she is replying "You're welcome!" Apparently, I was working too hard to see that she had texted me earlier to tell me! (We are a very quiet bunch in the morning, and especially a Monday!)I just hadn't noticed.

It's Monday! I'm finally awake, and I've had a good laugh. Plus... this is normal for me.


Bwahahahaha!

oh how funny.. well at least you had a fun chuckle and your friend had an even funnier one as she told you and you didn't notice that either! So glad you got sorted and it was only a short time that you were inside out!

 

[jenn mccabe]

OMG Jenn - that is so funny! Your co worker was probably sitting there waiting to see when you'd notice. Always good to start the week with a little laugh!

 

[Angela Toucan]

I would find that so embarrassing. I'm glad you were able to have a laugh about it.

I remember collecting my 4 year old son from school one day when the teacher said. "I hope you don't mind, but we helped your son put his trousers back on the right way round this morning". They were inside out and I hadn't noticed. The inside of the pockets on the black trousers are white - it should have been obvious.

 

[IntenseMagic]

Oh how funny!! I've so totally done that before and I work in a HS, with teenagers, who absolutely love to point out things like that!

LOL I probably would have totally said something like "Mind? Of course I mind! We did that on purpose, did you not know it's inside out day!" And then just giggled

 

[Karen]

Oh that is so funny Jenn! Lol! And nice of your friend to try to help you out. I have a friend who is a teacher at my kid's school and she texted once to tell me my oldest had a pair of blue jeans on backwards. HOW did he even zip them up when they were backwards! Lol!

 

[NancyBeck]

I've done the same thing, lol! Think we were preoccupied?

Oh man... I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I was embarrassed for maybe 5 seconds until the humor caught up to my brain! I can't wait to tell my husband and kids! We will be rolling on the floor!

Oh my kids... when they were in day care, I was lucky they were changed out of their pajamas...and didn't actually change the diapers and put them back on. DH usually dropped off, so I was the get them dressed and packed person. It was a blur.

I think that makes you a person, not just a teacher in their eyes. Backwards relating - see adults are just like teenagers, lol!

How did he zip them? I would have asked my kids to demonstrate!!!

Def! Possibly sleep dressing!

 

[sparagus]

LoL. Happy Monday!

Hey, you were just owning a little Alanis Morissette this morning.

 

[carrie1977]

Bahahaha!

When I was pregnant with Mattie I went to work with two different colored shoes one - one brown and one black (they were the exact same shoe just different colored). A CUSTOMER pointed it out. So embarrassing! I mean, I couldn't see beyond my stomach to even notice. LOL!

 

[gonewiththewind]

bwahahahahaha This is awesome.

Maybe not as awesome as the time I flitted down the hallway of the prestigious law firm I worked for with my filmy skirt caught up in my pantyhose. I was about 100 pounds lighter than I am now BUT it was still a complete embarrassment.

Or the time I forgot that a new dress I bought had a dickey in it, and when I put it on, it was super low cut. I tried to pin it, but it didn't help much. I was on a work business trip and I had to go to dinner with a bunch of attorneys who were, get this, working on breast implant litigation. I am very conservative, and the attorney I worked for about fell out when he saw me. At the end of the night, when undressing, the dickey flopped out from underneath my arm where it had spent the entire time. It was a story that the attorney told for years afterward, about his sweet and nice legal assistant surprising him . . . I was just humiliated. I tried to laugh it off, but I felt like an uneducated dolt. LOL

Oh man... and the case type! I would have been mortified if this was 10 years or 15 years ago. As for lawyers, I had onE for when I was pregnant and let go at a company... we were heading to a hearing. I was freaking out since my lawyer had a BOOGER hanging out of his nose. I was having multiple conversations in my head trying to figure out how to tell him cause there was no way I would be represented by a man with a BOOGER handing out of his nose! I ended up telling him he needed a tissue... twice. I think as I get older I lose part of the ability to be embarrassed as much as I used to get. Kids, experience, and a sense of humor gave me a hand with that!

 

[bbymks5]

LOL!! If it makes you feel any better, I at one time had identical shoes in black and brow...yeah, I wore one of each color to work!

 

[Tree City]

Oh, these stories are too funny!

It was in 1999 . . . so yeah, I was young enough to be mortified. As I was typing it out earlier, I was actually getting red in the face! Ha!

Bwahahahaha Did you have to tell him twice about the booger because he didn't listen the first time, or was he just particularly booger-y? And did you win your case? Gotta know now! LOL

 

[amien1]

Hilarious!

I did that at work the other day! Thankfully it was just my underwear but it was a super busy day & I didn't notice until I had a spare minute to use the restroom hours later!!! Only I knew that my underwear were on inside out all day long! I also have forgotten the size sticker on jeans before- and worn them all day. Yep- nothing like telling the world you wear a size 12 jean!

I tried to tell him on the Subway to the meeting.... it was a super stubborn booger and really yucky looking. Then when we were walking into the offices, I stopped him and said he needed to clean his nose off, and made gestures in front of my own nose to make my point. I was SO embarrassed, lol... for me and him. It was finally gone though. Squeaky clean for out meeting! Bwahahahahaha!

Simple recap: I was 20 weeks pregnant, made an error on my own time sheet by not marking a week when I was on vacation. I had the time, but didn't mark it, and didn't realize it. One of my employees, who I had recently given a not so stellar review, noticed it, didn't tell me but told ON me, and in not so nice terms. After review they let me go. They wouldn't deduct from my vacation bank. Eventually, even though the state leaned in their favor, the state never came back to collect the payments made to me for unemployment. That was 13 years ago.

I wouldn't be where I am today without these moments in my life. I learned that in hard times, people support and surround me, to have faith during uncertain moments, pick myself up after a good cry and work hard. I surprised myself with how easily I forgave the employee. She found out that I was let go, and cried/confessed, and said she didn't think it would end up how it did. It is what it is.

Yep... done that too! NO huge white tags hanging out under your neck at least!
