So... yesterday was my first day back at work after an almost two-week vacation.
Around 7:30am, I made the mistake of commenting to one of my managers, in a joking fashion, "I kinda want a nice quiet day to ease me back into things."
She looked at me in horror and said, "DON'T SAY THAT."
Within ten minutes, we were slammed with calls. And we stayed slammed, with at least 2 calls waiting in the queue (all the way up to 8 calls in queue at one point), for the rest of the day.
It finally trickled off after 5pm, when most of The Client's workforce was leaving for the day.
I accepted responsibility for it, and said to the manager later, "I regret everything."
