<human>: Dear Reddit,

I work in an electronics repair shop. In a staff of 12, I am the only female.

We have no real dress code, just wear a polo shirt and reasonable pants or shorts. Today, I fucked up by wearing my favorite shorts; a pair of canvas-colored men's cargo shorts...

I have been at work for several hours today; it's really, REALLY slow today.  As I was thinking about heading in to the restroom to take care of my "lady business", a customer walks in. He shows me an iPhone that is almost FUBAR. Overjoyed that I *finally* have something to do, I instantly forget that I need to "take care of something in the back", and I get to work.

I spend the next two hours fixing many, many problems with this iPhone, but I eventually get it good as new. I call the customer, and let him know that he can come get his phone.

I have to take a piss by now, so I stand up from my repair desk and INSTANTLY, I realize my fuck-up... I recall that a few hours ago, I needed to go to the restroom and change my pad...

I rush to the back, and I find that I am too late. There is blood ALL OVER the inner thighs of my loose-fitting shorts!

Had I worn any other pair of shorts/pants, they would have tightly kept my underwear close to my body, and I wouldn't have a potential crime scene plastered across my thighs.

I dare not call one of my coworkers and ask him to cover the rest of this shift. My husband would bring me a pair of pants, but he is entertaining company right now, and I don't want them to wonder why he has to bring me some pants.

If I stay at my work desk, and keep my legs together, no one will know! I just have to stay put for the next hour!

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: On my period. Forgot to change pad at work. Canvas shorts are now red. Can't go home. Can't call for help.
