today i breezed into work (on time) in a skimpy tanktop and flipflops (a no-no). i did have a backpack with me with a change of clothes, but now i can't even remember if i changed right there in the middle of the breakroom or if i had the sense to go to the restroom. my supervisors, managers, and one customer said that i seemd "out of it." i'd drunk all night and had some morning drinks to cure the headache--i wasn't really drunk, but apparently (according to my family when i got home) i smelled horrible (like beer, vodka, etc).
i'm wondering why they didn't ask me if i was drunk? why so polite--"you seem out of it--do you want to go home?--sleep it off." is that politeness? it actually makes me feel much more embarrassed, but maybe that was their goal. i regret arriving to work stinking like that, but my cheeks are red now--how embarrassing--can i be fired over this? i like this job. why are people so polite? "out of it" instead of "you seem to be stinking drunk"?
ramble ramble. i don't expect any answers on this one folks, i was clearly in the wrong, but if you've got an opinion do share...
