    I think I am just tired enough to find this hilarious. :) Thanks for making me giggle like a little girl in front of my coworkers, right now.

    I’m going to be a grammar nazi for a second. A comma splice joins two independent clauses to create a run-on sentence. Since “right now” isn’t an independent clause, that’s not a comma splice situation. It’s just a wrong, unnecessary comma.
