Note - don't tease superiors at work. It only leads to tears.

Just so you can all learn from my stupidity.  Don't point out supervisors mistakes, even jokingly.  Bad idea.  Okay?  I cried a lot last night before leaving work, I came home and was depressed and avoided everything and read all night, then I couldn't get to sleep for quite a while.  But, it's all over and done with. 

Only, I am a little worried how I should deal with her when I see her at work next week.  I think she comes in Tuesday or Wednesday.  I'll probably just try not to talk to her for a while until she either does something or acts like everything's normal - that's the way I usually deal with things like this.  I do feel that she owes me an apology, but I don't expect it.  It's also possible she might write me up for being insubordinate or something, but I don't think so, as then she'd have to bring up what I was teasing her about, which was a major dunderheaded boo boo on her part.  (Cutting an "Out Of Service" tag off a machine.  Never never to be done by anyone except the repair person, after they've cleared it for use.  She could have started a fire, or someone could have been electrocuted.)  I mean, she wasn't thinking, she should have known better, and that's really all she had to say, and then move on.  Although I realize that she's probably scared, because people do get written up as if they were purposely sabotaging every time they make a mistake, at work.  And she just went through the interview to be a manager, although she says she doesn't want it.

I usually just forgive and forget about things like this.  Literally; totally forget.  Having a bad memory is good for my mental health.  I know I forgot about the last time she did this sort of thing to me, and that left me open to walk into making the same mistake again.  So, I made a long locked post in order to get it out of my system.  Hopefully having written it down I might remember next time - You DO NOT tease superiors about their mistakes, no matter how well you seem to be getting along.  BAD IDEA.    *thwaps self over the head*

Now it's time for me to move on. 

ETA: I should have mentioned, though, in her defense - it was some morning shift manager or supervisor who made the decision to use that x-ray with the tag on it. So they started the mistake, she just continued it.

And, just to be a little more ironic - yesterday there was a huge meeting of all the higher up airport managers with the local emergency response people, about safety procedures.

and later in the day...

It was like spring, here, today.  Early April weather, I'd say.  Everything melting like mad.  I wanted to walk around in my t-shirt, just because the air felt soft and nice on my skin, but settled for wearing the fleece which is the lining of my coat.  It even pulled me a bit out of my melancholic and cranky mood.

I didn't, and I really should have, given credit in my previous post to Mistress of the Night for putting me back together and finding me a ride home - she's so very sweet.  And to JB for putting up with me on the way home (I didn't cry anymore, but I needed to rant).  I'd detailed this in my long post, which I set private, so it kind of slipped by me when I was making my shorter, public post.

I need to think about things that make me happy.  For instance: eor posted an icon base of Renton and Spud ("Trainspotting") sharing a milkshake! :)  *does a little happy dance*  (Eor says Renton/Spud/Diane can't happen, because Diane is too weirded out by Spud. Hm.)

Now to try making catfish.  Well, I suppose the catfish's mother actually made the catfish.

the conversion to not hosting our own stuff...

It's kind of cool having a new email client.  It's all empty and clean and nice, and the mailboxes open like they're supposed to!  I was keeping all the mailboxes open in the old one, just minimizing them, because if I closed them they didn't open up right, later.  I mean, it was Eudora 3.something, which was about a billion years old.  Now I've got Eudora 7.something. :)  Now I have to populate the addresses.  Schaweet!  No old addresses of people who I haven't heard from in a billion years. :) 

I'm also feeling happier that if we had an apartment fire our websites (including Daegaer.rulesthe.net ) won't be lost. 

However, I do have to either call the binne email list dead or find a new way to run it.  I've considered using a Yahoo group, but it may not be the easiest answer.  What's a good way to run an email list, these days?  Yahoo groups is nice because, unlike LJ and a lot of other places, you don't have to have a Yahoo id - you can subscribe any email to a Yahoo group.  But Yahoo seems to be phasing the groups out, far as I can tell.  It's impossible to find a group on Yahoo that is what you want.
