So at the end of week I had a small but cold screwup and I figured maybe the internet could laugh with me at my icy misery. I’ll start with saying I have been so obnoxiously stressed at work. With the winter weather, I haven’t been able to be at work to accomplish tasks I need to and have had to do what I can from home. This has set me behind about 3 weeks on my tasks and with conferences coming up I’ve been about two breaths from just screaming into the distance. Yesterday I had a rather large item in my room at work that I could not stand being in my room any longer, I decided to take it out to the shed and get it out if the way and noticed the already horrible door handle on the shed that barely unlocks seemed frozen. But the door was unlocked anyways so I plopped the item down and went about my way cause I had a LOT to do.
Now normally the shed at work stays locked. I was confused about why it wasn’t so I did the only sensible thing by locking it, as I figured I probably wouldn’t be back out to the shed till the Earth thaws. When I went back inside I went into another room to ask a coworker a question and accidentally interrupted their meeting, I felt so bad but I made up for it by offering to take their same large items out to the shed at the end of the day as I knew it’d take a lot off their plate.
I spent the rest of the day scrambling around getting a mountain if tasks done to the point where I was so stressed I could hardly stay focused. When I went to take my coworkers stuff to the shed, a different coworker offered to help me so I stubbornly agreed to help and went out only to find that the shed lock door was frozen which I had clearly already observed earlier. I spent a good 2-3 minutes in the cold trying to get the door to unlock to the point where I got mad and slammed the key into the lock several times. This was one of those moments where It was “ great just one more thing to stress me out”,resulting in the door unlocking and opening while an avalanche of snow from the roof of the shed also fell off the roof all over top of me down my sweatshirt and inside all of my clothes.
Normally I would have been mad about this but my coworker and I had a great laugh about it and I haven’t stopped laughing since. It was a good reminder to not let work stress affect life so much and to not always take life so seriously.
TLDR: I locked the shed door at work when I knew I shouldnt have and got mad at the door slamming the key into the lock because I was stressed with work resulting in me getting buried in snow
