Grrr.
So last night I absolutely could not sleep. By the time I got in bed, I had less than 3 hours before I needed to be up. Alarm went off, I rolled over.
I got up a couple hours later. I'm still tired, but those 2 hours made the difference. With a shortened morning routine, I was out of the house and at work less than 90 minutes late. At that rate, I didn't even bother calling in. My manager wouldn't notice, I'll work through lunch, I'm leaving a little late today anyway. No one would be the wiser.
I walk in the door...and half my department, including my manager, are standing right there having an impromptu meeting.
Fortunately, people come in and out that door all day, and they were too focused on whatever they were talking about so I don't think they noticed. And if they did, they probably figured I was getting something from my car. The whole thing made me laugh, though.
