TIFU and had the most accomplished day at work and can't replicate it.

TL;DR I got sick and did drugs to help my work day and now I'm getting extra work load.

I have just returned from a week "vacation". I was visiting family, during which I had to help remodel my mother's kitchen, help my sister set up her home office, and find time for my father's birthday, my anniversary, and my step sisters birthday too. It was jam packed and exhausting especially because my family parties hard and works hard. And then to top it off, my adult son was sick the entire time and I caught it the last two days.

So yesterday I went back to work and I'm feeling completely depleted. I'm not sick but I feel like I had no recovery, my mind and body are struggling. My sister offers me her Adderall and I take it figuring it'll get me through the day, because it's 9am and I'm 3 coffees in and I feel NOTHING but pure exhaustion.

So I get to work and I'm functioning it's going well. Then my husband showed up with a key bump. So to be clear, we don't usually ever partake, but we were partying with my family and my step sister bought a bunch for her party and we had leftovers to bring home. He figured I'd need it because I was so exhausted, so I did it.

And I went and kicked so much ass. I finished all my work, even my week long absence pile of work, before lunch. I organized the office, cleaned up, I got started on the rest of my week. I got bored and reorganized our important phone numbers list even researching to see if any changed or had different departments now (some did, so it was good I checked).

Then I went home and fell asleep at 7pm and didn't budge until this morning.

I'm feeling like crap still but I come in expecting an easy day since I handled everything yesterday. But NO. My boss is so impressed with my effort that she's made a big announcement to our department about how devoted and hard working I am and congratulated me for hitting the ground running. I can't replicate that effort today, or any day. But especially today. I am a fool.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
