Presence of Mind, PLEASE…
We got locked out of the office yesterday and half of today… all because of my great presence of mind. I was too excited for the “long” weekend (TWO WHOLE DAYS… imagine that) that I left my copy of the office keys… INSIDE THE OFFICE (smart.) last Friday. I didn’t realize I did ’til the next day when I was looking for my thumb drive… which was attached to the keys.
As luck would have it, the only other person who has a copy of the keys was out on a shoot on Bantayan Island. An island off of the Northern part of Cebu. To give you an idea… it’s about 3-4 hours drive and a 45 minute boat ride away. Kinda far, huh? And he’s only coming back this morning.
So there… one of my smart moves. As soon as I found out we’ll be locked out, I was sooo tempted to declare a forced holiday yesterday and was really about to text message my staff but asked for my husband’s opinion on the matter (hoping I’d get a confirmation from him that it’s totally fine). But I guess we both have a conscience. I could’ve declared a forced holiday but didn’t… he thought about it and felt that maybe we should just ask everyone to report to the printing company instead.
So there I was in my old desk and my old chair. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed seeing my brother and my husband for most of the day. Though the obsessive compulsive in me is screaming for dear life. It’s such a testosterone-filled workplace so you can just imagine how neat it is there. But it was nice just being around them again. I missed them so much.
So there. Through all the excitement of getting two whole days off, I left the keys inside the office. It’s really nothing. It’s something I do from time to time. Something that is deemed a classic move by me. What more if we were getting three days off, huh? Maybe I would’ve forgotten that I had a job. Haha!
