Ode to Monday: a rant on insensitivty in the workplace

Not fond of Mondays in theory or in practice. Even with all the things that have gone right today, I'm still pretty cheesed off about today:

  • Getting up at 5:20 so I could be on the road before rush hour and into the office early: good.
  • Having to shift back into the office: enh. We'll call this a draw.
  • Forgetting the box with my laptops, thus necessitating a second round-trip: bad.
  • Having to deal with my schedule and a new dentist to take care of the tooth (top front left) I broke on Friday: bad.
  • Having a co-worker make repeated references to my broken tooth, laughing and saying it makes me look like a hick: very bad.

You know, dude, the first time you laugh at how my broken tooth makes me look like a redneck, then apologize because it was insensitive, I'll give it to you for free. When you go on to say it again and keep laughing...

...why was I moving back into the office again? Oh, yeah, to increase my productivity and help re-integrate me into the team. Newsflash: I feel so integrated right now.

Just for reference, the previous sentence was sarcasm and not to be read literally.
