That's me. Today and for quite few months. But today especially; it seems that I cannot do anything right.
I'm always saying or doing the wrong thing at work, especially in email. I never copy the right people; my questions are vague and they don't seem to understand what I want. I procrastinate because I just can't face doing some things. There are so many piddling little details that I seem to forget (or don't know) that I find out too late. I'm nervous because I have a big presentation on Thursday. I'm not so worried about that as I am about the potential questions afterwards.
I took part of last Friday off because I had a pounding headache, so, after I did the one thing I was supposed to do, I left. I made sure it was okay with my actual boss (he works in another office) and my boss's boss (who works in my office- don't ask, it's kind of screwed up) was gone, so I figured it was okay. But, apparently, the thing I was supposed to do on Friday (and that I DID do) wasn't good enough, so there was a fire to put out today. I guess I'm not allowed to go home sick. I have not had a day off that wasn't a holiday or because of illness since September. Needless to say, I'm a little stressed and burnt out.
And then, THEN, I got home and couldn't get into my apartment. The exterminators had been here, and locked the lower lock (the one on the knob) and I couldn't get the door open to save my life. It took me, and I'm not kidding, 20 minutes. I'm going to call tomorrow because I think there might be something wrong with the lock, but still, I was out there in the 40 degree weather worried that I wasn't going to be able to get inside. So I had a meltdown. Then felt totally stupid, when it opened. Lately, I've been a mess, I don't mind saying, but today kind of took the cake.

Sorry about that.

But I accidentally get some things done while pretending to work.
