A woman sent a video to her boss explaining why she's unable to work - while in labour. <br /><br />The hilarious video shows Tamara Drpic, 24, explaining her absence and promising to answer emails despite being "a little loopy" from the fentanyl given for the pain.<br /><br />Tamara says: "I'm actually going to have a baby tonight.<br /><br /> "Right now I'm drugged up on fentanyl because of the epidural but yeah it came sooner than I expected.<br /><br />"But don't worry - I'm going to wrap up some emails and stuff."<br /><br />Tamara, an internship manager from Washington D.C., USA, wasn't due for a week so the baby was a surprise.<br /><br />She made the video in May 2023, just three hours before giving birth and immediately forgot about it.<br /><br />The new mum only discovered the video this month while scrolling through the videos on her phone.<br /><br />Tamara said: "I was a little loopy so I forgot about it.<br /><br />"I can be a little goofy and less professional but I think the epidural played a role in sending it."<br /><br />Tamara gets along great with her boss, who took it in her stride and made no mention of the video once she returned.<br /><br />She said: "I got back to work in August and it wasn't even mentioned. I think she just kept it to herself."<br /><br />She added that her boss wouldn't have minded her absence and that she didn't feel obliged to record it.<br /><br />She said: "She told me to log off and focus on my baby, it's the opposite, she's the most chill, relaxed person in the world.<br /><br />"She hired me years ago - in 2018 - she's my work buddy."
