Freaky Friday

From when I left this morning, I knew something was just off. Not necessarily something about me, such as having my pants tucked into my flats or walking around with a limp, but more that everything I did was just a little off today.

When I got to work, I was trying to find things to do, as usual. When I approached Ryan, he suddenly asked me if I had done what he asked me to do yesterday. For the first time since working with Ryan, I had to say no. I suddenly thought about yesterday and how I had completely forgotten to do what he asked me. I didn't think too much of it because I was just cleaning out his inbox in his email. No big deal.

Wrong.

He got upset and began to walk away. I asked him if I could go and do it right then and he told me I had lost "my chance." He then walked away and refused to talk to me for the rest of the day. That is very uncharacteristic of Ryan. I have made so many mistakes that he has taken the blame for, from dealing with Compliance at the corporate headquarters, to a typo on an official document. In those situations, he shrugged it off and didn't care. But this?

It just didn't add up. Maybe that was his last straw. I really don't know. But I hope things are back to normal on Monday. Ryan is the only reason I stayed at my job when I considered leaving in April and every day since.

All morning, the staff were slowly trickling out of the office to begin their weekend plans. By one, I was deemed as "in charge" of the office until five. The youngest in the office, the college student, was in charge for four whole hours. Oh. My. Goodness.

During my reign as "Queen of the Office" I did absolutely nothing worthy of writing about. Not a single thing. I just wanted to express that I was in charge for four hours and took it for granted. Bummer.

After the day wrapped up and I came home, I got on my computer to check my email and such. However, I kept having fruit flies bother me and stick to my computer screen. (I threw half a watermelon on the sink and left it there all day at work. That was the culprit. Whoops.) Anyway, as I was swatting a fly away, I lightly tapped my cup full of iced tea and it conveniently flew off the table and dumped into Eryn's purse. It also poured out all over our cream colored chair cushion and all over the carpet.

Awesome.

I quickly grabbed paper towels to clean up the mess, paying special attention to Eryn's purse, knowing that would get me in the most trouble. (Funny how I was more scared of getting in trouble by Eryn than the condition of my carpet or my chair cushion.) I then used a remedy found online to get the stain out and waited for it to dry. In its current state, it is almost dry and most of the stain is gone. I'll make another cleaning attempt tomorrow and see what the cushion looks like after that.

I don't really have a great closing after that story, so I'll transition into something completely unrelated. I am obsessed with the new Parachute CD which is not surprising, considering I did the same with their first CD. This one, however, is much, much better, though I didn't think that was possible. I listened to it all day and I am currently listening to it now.

I listened to "Forever and Always" for probably 6 hours straight today at work. If you don't know it, here it is. Try not to cry. ;)
