What can go wrong in 15 minutes?
Reply With Quote   #1

Break time at 1:45 to 2:00pm. I get off work at 4, so I decide to take a bit of a cat nap. To set up this little story of idiocy at its finest, I will give the layout of my desk.

I have a new cubicle and on it is a hinged keyboard/mouse shelf. It swings down and under or up and over. It's pretty nifty, but if you goof with it too much it starts to slip when you put too much weight on it. Believing I'm a genius, I realize I've found a new pillow for at work in the form of the wristguard squishy-thingy for my keyboard. So I put my head on this and proceed to fall into an actually decent sleep.

I had been jamming out earlier and had my headphones, keyboard, and mouse all sitting on the drawer. As I slept, apparently the keyboard drawer started to slip a tad, and I simply slumped with it.

This slip prompted the headphones to come unplugged and I must have placed my face on the space bar. From out of the speakers came the "DO NOT PRESS THAT BUTTON, MACHINE GUN SPEED BONK!" sound at an incredibly amplified volume, at which point I literally jumped awake...

And scraped the back of my head, ear, and side of my face across the corner of the desk on the edge near the drawer. This prompted me to jump and try to grab my face and my hand hit the drawer and the gentle latch on the underneath, launching my keyboard, mouse, and headphones and knocking my monitor off the desktop. In an effort to stand up and catch it the back of my knees send my chair out into the aisle.

So I fix my keyboard, mouse, headphones, volume level and headphone placement, reset the keyboard/mouse drawer, and set the monitor back up.

In frustration I flop back down into my chair.

Let me repeat that last part and allow you to reread the sentence and EXACTLY what I did in the last paragraph before my last action.

IN FRUSTRATION I FLOPPED BACK DOWN INTO MY CHAIR!

Thank, God it's Friday.

This is about the only time I could say that smoking would save me. Because I would be prone to such a fate if I didnt go outside to smoke on any break that I get hehe.

You certainly have my sympathies there, I got a new desk when I moved and the edges are sharp as @#%$-all. I'm pretty sure the corners are actually knives.

Im glad you put in the repeat, because I didnt catch it the first time around. Sounds like everyones having a case of the Mondays today. Hopefully its just a prelude to a good weekend(always darkest before the dawn type thing). Good luck this weekend!
