25 Watts

So I did something so incredibly stupid I wonder if I'll be fired. Going into any further details here would only compound the problem, so it will have to remain vague.

If you really want the gory details, you can call me (after work hours! I can hardly take about it HERE) and I can fill you in. But really, this is a case of a smart person doing something dumb, as opposed to if I were just a permanently dim bulb.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

My brain is apparently as melty and gooey as the Langres cheese I had this weekend at my sweetie's (which I also posted about last year).

And best of all, (besides waiting for the other shoe to drop) I know that stress is bad for my already weakened immune system. Ironic, eh? "Be calm" etc. doesn't really help when you're waiting to see if you'll get a call from HR and if your other co-workers will figure out whodunnit. At least I've already had the closed-door-meeting-with-my-boss bright and early this morning.

My only sources of comfort are:
(a) perhaps they have bigger fish to fry,
(b) I hear there are now subsidized COBRA payments for the unemployed,
(c) maybe they won't figure out who the moron was
(d) I can't do anything about it now, as my assistant manager points out

Freakin' idiot
