I'm sooooo stupid!!

[lmw]

I know really I'm not stupid, but lately at work I've had these moments where I feel like a complete idiot and all I wanna do is bring my hand to my forehead and shake my head in shame!

Example: I am a postal clerk and our mail carriers got taken from us about a year ago and moved to an office the next town south of here. When someone is on vacation their mail is held at the other office and brought here the day their hold is set to end, for them to pick up. Someone called asking about their mail, I looked, didn't find it, instructed them to call the other office. So they did... the other office called me, swore up and down the carrier left the mail here, so I looked, again, and of course there it was in a tub on the floor. Being on the floor, I didn't see it, I just didn't look hard enough.

I'm working over time this week while my boss is in Vegas and this is the second time I did this very thing, overlooked a pile of mail. I don't know how I did it twice, so that left me feeling very stupid.

Too young for a senior moment at 31? Anybody else have those idiotic moments?

Indeed you are no idiot! People make mistakes, don't they?

I know this, but I seem to make a lot of them. So glad Jesus loves me still and always

We were working on lighting fittings some time ago. It was towards the end of work that day. Everybody was feeling so exhausted. My boss asked us to just do the last fittings. I was kind of supervising it. I inadvertently removed the fittings holders. The engineers spent a long time doing the coupling of the fittings. They tried to mount it and behold there were no holders.

The chief manager was surprised that we could make such a ridiculous mistake. He looked at me and I remembered I had removed the holders. It was a wasted effort.

Both my boss, the engineers and managers laughed and laughed and laughed until we shed tears. It kind of saved us from the stress that day, 'cause our boss asked us to close for the day. We had to all disappear.

The amusement lasted forever.

Yes that's my pride and joy, Gunnar! He had a cute outfit on and I was trying to take a picture, in the process of sitting him down the camera around my neck swung and bonked him in the head Another one of those moments...

Hi, lmw ....

In my household, we refer to those moments as "A.B. Normal" moments.... and, if there are witnesses to an A.B. Normal moment, we check our necks to make certain our heads are firmly bolted on to our necks.

(Yes....."Young Frankenstein" reference)

Your son is adorable... you are blessed!

Ive been at the same job for almost 4 years now, it isn't a hard job, sometimes its painfully slow during the day and I really think my brain shuts off or something, like it has a timer to shut it down when its not in use!
