    The other morning I was in such a hurry and must have been spacing out, that when I went to heat up the kids' oatmeal, I forgot to put the bowl in the microwave first. It went thru the whole heating cycle, beeped, I opened the door and was like, "Where the eff is the oatmeal?!" Turned around and it was sitting on the counter.

    You call another office and after they answer, you say

    "National U.S. - Arab Chamber of Commerce, how may I help you?"

    Luckily it was someone at head office I was calling and not a client or member. I just got laughed at by my boss.

    When I get within striking distance to throttling a coworker, then I know it's time to hide for a few days.

    Ok part 2

    There is a keypad lock for the bathroom... I just typed in my SSN (not the code).

    I need food or a vacation. Both preferably.

    That reminds me of when you are searching frantically for your cell phone and realize you're talking on it. I've done this more times than I'd like to admit.

    When you're away from work but somehow think you're hearing the work phone ring at home.

    "May I have your number please?" *two seconds later to the SAME CUSTOMER* "May I have your number please?" *few seconds later TO THE SAME CUSTOMER* "How may I help you?" -> Their groceries are already packed and all they have to do is pay.

    *head/desk*

    I HATE long orders because I'm more likely to zone out and forget what the hell I'm doing. Thank goodness I only work in a grocery store. If I had an important job this could be serious.

    For me this depends on a co-worker. Going one step further could be considered 'thinning the herd'.

    "do plastic spoons go bad? and if they do, is it just the spoons, why not all utensils?"

    "did I forget my keys at home?" while driving down the road

    there was another one but I cant remember, probably another sign I need to get the eff out of here.

    When you've worked at the same building for 3 years with the same code to get in, punch in the code incorrect so many times it locks you out. Standing at the doorway with your head hung from shame, waiting for the security guard to come let you in....:yawn:

    When you hear someone else talk about going on vacation and it makes you want to cry.....or commit homicide :frown:
