I finally had a perfect week at work after 6 months of chaos

Last week was the first time since January that nothing went wrong. No emergency calls at 2am, no broken equipment, no angry clients. The machine on line 4 ran without a single jam for 5 straight days. My supervisor even said "good job" which he never does. It felt so weird I almost expected something bad to happen Friday afternoon but it never did. Has anyone else had a week that was just too smooth and it made you paranoid?

Did that little voice in the back of your head keep waiting for the other shoe to drop all week?

Other shoe to drop"? Hell, I'd be suspicious if it was still Tuesday.

Totally get that paranoid feeling. Had a run like that myself a few months back where nothing broke and no one yelled at me for a whole week. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop so hard I barely enjoyed the peace. When Friday came and went without drama, I almost felt cheated out of a disaster. It's like your brain gets conditioned to expect chaos and forgets what calm even looks like. Nice when it happens, but man does it mess with your head.
