Got home from work at 4:30 did a load of laundry , Made supper, after supper did dishes . Had my shower got comfy on the couch to watch TV.at 8:00 put clothes in dryer, thought I'd just have a nap,well woke up at 1:00 so went to bed. The awful sound of the alarm clock went off . Looked over yep it's 6:00 time to get up but just a few more minutes then I'll get up. Well 6;45 I woke up again. Had to be to work at 8:00 and it took an hour to drive there.Jumped out of bed brushed my teeth grabbed my cloths out of the dryer that I forgot the night before so wrinkled tops and pants but in as hurry maybee the wrinkles will come out with time. grabbed my jacket out I washed it too. Out the door , a banana for breakfast, on my way and it'sonly 7:00 I'll make it.

Got to work at 8:05 not bad had to stop at a store to get cigarettes. The girl there was rude,she didn't smile or say good morning nothing just looked at me. I thought when I left not everybody can look like a fashion model first thing in the morning.

Ran into my office hung up my jacket good the boss isn't here yet. I was Q A so got my papers ready to go out and check parts. Then my boss came in and said so what do we have here.Before I turned around i thought oh he knows I was late and he's just being smart.

Then I turned around and he's holding a pair of my underwear that had fallen on the floor. They were stuck to my coat. I was so tired the night before I forgot to put in an anti-static sheet. So my underwear clung to my jacket and when I took off my jacket to hang up the underwear fell off. The rest of the day I was embarassed. Of course my boss had to tell his buddies. He thought it was funny. For months after that he called me "Ready Freddy"

Now I know why the girl in the store didn't say anything.. Didn't go back there.

Hhhahhahaha.............Barb, that is truly embarrassing, and a little funny! "So, they clung on, did they"! Maybe they wanted to fill out an application at your job or something! Just messing around! Good one!
