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.
