Why did I go to work on Monday?

Ash posted on No Place Like Home about my little oopsie this week. The short story is that I went in to work on Monday when I had the day off. I didn’t realize it until I pulled into the deserted parking lot. I was not looking forward to going in on Monday anyway because I was feeling sick, but I hauled my tired ass out of bed (more on that later) and dragged myself in.

I stopped at Starbucks first for a wake up call (Venti Latte, which means Large Latte). While I was in line, I saw that they had the cups Ash was looking for! I told someone a month or so ago that I was looking for these cups, and they told me they didn’t have them and couldn’t get any. Someone else was listening in and I guess they took it on themselves to order some. When I got in, there were only two left. I got one because I knew that we already had one.

So, I was feeling like the day wouldn’t be a total loss, since even though I had to work I got a cup for Ash. Check out No Place Like Home for information on the cups and why we like them.

When I finally got to work and saw no one was there, my first instinct was to just turn around and go straight home. Instead, I decided to go in. I brought my laptop back to my desk and was thinking to myself that I could get in a couple of hours of work today, when I finally said “To hell with this!”

I didn’t do any work, I didn’t even turn on my computer. I just hooked it up for easy startup the next day, and went home. When I got home, it turned out that Ash had already locked the top door lock, which you can only open from the inside (this is one reason we can’t leave Morgan alone for a second inside our apartment). When I unlocked the bottom lock and tried to open the door, it didn’t budge. Morgan heard it and came up to the door. He was upset because he couldn’t let me in, so I tried to get him to open the top lock.

“Morgan! Unlock the door!”

Clicking sound of the lock. Morgan has re-locked the lower lock.

“No! Morgan, unlock the door!”

This time it worked and I could walk into the apartment. As I was walking in, Ash was getting up and starting to yell at Morgan for unlocking the door and opening it. I explained to her that I didn’t have to work that day after all. She seemed a little confused at first, but it finally sunk in and she said “Good.”, then went to bed.

So, I got a day off I wasn’t expecting, Ash got to sleep in another day, and Morgan got to have his daddy home with him all day. Overall, win-win-win.
