Rainy Days and Mondays...Karen Carpenter had the right idea

Ok, it's a Monday. I mean a MONDAY! Not that it was horrible. Not horrible at all, just annoying. First of all, I was tired all day. I mean, who can sleep when there is a tornado watch that goes all night till 5 am. What if it is the big one and I don't wake up. Apparently I was not alone in this as several of my coworkers had the same problem.

Second, got 3/4 of the way to the office which is a good 20 minutes into my drive and realized that I left my laptop at home. Well, there is nothing you can do but turn around and go get it! In this age, there would really not be much for me to do at work without my computer.

So, finally get settled in, and see that the bottom button on my shirt is loose. No problem, I will pull it off and get out my nifty desk sewing kit and sew it back on...nooooo, it breaks as I pull it off. It was one of those shell buttons that usually get broken by the dry cleaner but this one waited until I was at work.

So, now I am in search of a safety pin. This particular blouse is not the type you can tuck in. So, I am standing at our awesome Administrative Assistant's desk and she is trying to figure out what to do and meanwhile my belly button is on display if I move. So as she is digging through her purse and I am examining the damage, who should round the corner but our CEO. Of course I have to tell him it's just a wardrobe malfunction! Yikes! Luckily he has two daughters and a wife so he wasn't the least bit fazed by this scene.

Finally decide that I am best off cutting off the button from the top where the collar is open and sewing it at the bottom, so Awesome Admin lady tries to saw the button off with a pair of dull office scissors for about 5 minutes (in the middle of the hall)-- I can just imagine them slipping and not being as dull as they hit my neck!! Finally she pulls out a mini pair on a key chain and the button pops right off.

I go in the bathroom with my button and sewing kit....hmmm, where do I set this stuff down so I can sew it on. The toilets don't have lids or backs like the ones at home the tampon box has a sloping down lid! So, as I try to juggle, I drop the needle .... you get the picture. I have to fish it out, wash it off, anyway....all this before 9 am! Whew! Is it lunch time yet??
