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.

Aww, I'm sorry she reacted that way. Hope you feel better now and she'll act like nothing happened next week. Try not to worry about it anymore and don't let it spoil the rest of your weekend. *hugs*

Thanks. I am trying to not let it spoil my precious time to myself... and not entirely succeeding. But, well. *hugs!* :)
