I'm slightly mortified
I just flew back from Florida this morning and have some important stuff that I need to do so I came straight to the office from the airport. I had planned to do this all along, but I forgot to pack work clothes. My options were to either wear my jeans or wear my satin party dress from the wedding. I opted for jeans because I remembered that I have a pair of slacks in my office.
When I got here I had to pee really bad so I ran to the bathroom really quick, thinking to myself how embarassing it would be if I ran into my division director or deputy director while wearing jeans on a Monday. Sure enough, who rounds the corner as I'm making a bee-line for the bathroom but my division director. I was cursing my bad timing as I entered the bathroom only to run into our division deputy director who was washing her hands. Awesome.
It's highly unlikely anyone would say anything to me and I know I'm not the first person to do it, nor will I be the last, but I still feel really ridiculous. To make matters worse, the pants in my office were horribly wrinkled so I ended up settling on swapping my jeans out for a black pair of stretchy (bootcut, not skin tight) pants that I wouldn't actually be embarassed to be seen at work in if it weren't for the fact that they have a dull splatter of green paint at the knee. It's not too noticeable though and I feel like at least my outfit can now pass as vaguely professionalish looking.
Re: I'm slightly mortified
Ugh, That sucks and makes for an uncomfortable moment. I am sure they didn't think too much about it, and if they did, it will soon be a distant memory.
What I hate is the one time I go to Walmart looking like dog shiit, I always run into every effing person I know in this town. I hate chit chatting especially when I look like shiit so I try to bail out of that convo ASAP. I am sure there are many people who not only think I am a hot mess, but they also think I am a biitch too.......
Have a good time in FL though! I hope your trip down is uneventful!

There is something awesomely hilarious about this scenario. I hope you can laugh about it when you are safely at home and can put on pants that aren't crotchless. Thank god for small miracles like having a safety pin when you're in dire need of one!
Just be careful when you sit. You don't want that thing to pop open! I don't think a safety pin in the vag would make for a great day.

Yeah, I try to avoid pins and needles near my sensitive lady bits. I'll never understand below the belt piercing- no matter what it may feel like after the fact, I am not stabbing myself there by choice!
OMG Kendra! lol Hope your day goes ok!
Once I showed up to work with 2 different shoes on.... luckily I had flip flops, although not completely appropriate but they were better than the alternative!
I am cringing at the idea of a safety pin in such a sensitive area! Uh yeah, needless to say I do NOT have any of those piercings. shudder!
Kendra, that is funny. I could so see that happening to me! Hope you had a nice weekend at the wedding, can't wait to see pics and hear about it! Did you get to try any of those cupcakes??
My silly Lily is almost 4.
Thanks.
Although I'm sure not everyone in the world sees this as a terrible problem. 
I'll upload my pictures when I get home. I didn't get any good pictures of my whole ensemble though. I thought of it and asked my mom to take a couple of pictures, but her brain just cannot process how to hold a camera (she kept turning it and asking me where the viewfinder was
) and the pictures ended up crooked and too zoomed-in to see the whole dress.
