So today... actually this week has sucked, but not really for me more for everyone else. Today however the suckiness was my fault, at least for one girl. Here is how my Saturday has gone so far:
I woke up this morning at 9am to work out then did a little TV watching. It was a good morning, then around 12 I got a text from my supervisor asking if I was ready for check out today. Checkout? what checkout...? I was 99% sure I did not have a check out from my building for another week and so we argued back and forth about who was right until out of fear that she was I jumped into the shower, threw on some business casual clothes, and got my stuff together for checkout. Then about 30 minutes later she texts me 'oh we are jumping the gun that checkout isn't until next week!' I was beyond frustrated, but it has been a crazy week for Res Life here including a flooded res hall, a resident death, and a employee having a psychotic break and being taken away to a mental institution (not exaggerating). So I really just felt bad for my supervisor having so much on her mind and decided to just let it go and not be frustrated.
A few minutes later I receive a text from one of my peer Conference Directors asking if I wouldn't mind helping with her check out this afternoon. Sure why not! I mean check outs are very very easy, but yes I can be there to hold your hand again (I know I sound like a huge bitch right now, but you have no idea how many people it takes to do such an easy job here, it gets old). Basically the plan was to head over to her hall at 4pm. So I did some more tv watching and web surfing before I decided that since I worked out and woke up early today I deserve a nap! I was bored and tired so it seemed like the perfect solution! It is about 2:30, maybe 3:00pm at this point.
Well for those of you who don't know me I will let you know I am very good at sleeping, not very good at waking up. Apparently during my nap the peer CD that I agreed to help had texted me and asked me to bring over the check out forms she had left in our office. I didn't wake up until 3:55pm so I texted her back then saying 'yes! where are they? BTW running a little late be there in 10!'. she texted back 'nvm'. I thought she was annoyed at me, as she should be since I am always running about 5-10 minutes late, but I really didn't feel too bad since it would be a 2 second drive or 2 minute walk to get the forms herself, plus me being at this checkout as I said was not that necessary so I didn't feel like my tardiness would be to big of a hindrance on her. So I walk up to Traditions at about 4:08 and see there is a decent size line for check out. I jump in and help put keys away while she checks names off. In 10 minutes we are completely done! yay! success!
Well here is when I get an earful. Since I didn't text her back for 20 minutes about the forms she being overly stressed decided to run and get them herself. The camp was already outside waiting for checkout so she felt extra pressure to hurry and decided to take her car to be quicker. She was in such a hurry that she hit another car on her way out! Apparently her headlight and bumper on this car that she just finished paying off are totally fucked. and since she had to give her insurance info to the other driver, she was also late to the checkout by a few minutes. So she was extremely pissed, she did keep her composure during check out, but the second they left she went off about it. I apologized a bunch and feel awful even though she didn't directly blame me and it isn't exactly my fault, I still feel I could have not taken a nap and this never would have happened! I even offered to buy her dinner, but she said she already had plans.
So that is my day. I feel so bad. I have a check in I am helping with tomorrow and you best believe I will be napless! I will be 30 minutes early! Anyways I just wanted to share with all you guys since I don't want to be telling people here what I did, next thing you know napping will become a WA stereotype! So I am going to hide out in my room now and hope that I don't cause any more problems. :(
Tell her to learn how to drive.
