Have you ever started a brand new job and then been 45 mins. late? Well, thats what I did today. You see I'm working a split shift now and I was on time in the AM (6:15) and late for the afternoon. Did I get called on the carpet? You better believe it. I totally owned up to it being my mistake. I didn't blame anything or anyone or make excuses (no deaths in the family etc.). I apologized and assured my employer it would not happen again (fingers crossed). What really happened to tardy Liz you might be asking? It's this simple; I laid down for a nap (see AM start time) didn't set the alarm and overslept. Period. Tomorrow is another day, right?

It's never a mistake...just a reality check; something your HP wants to bring notice to. The vacation is over; back to the grind! :-) You're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy! Hee hee |

Oooo Liz...lol How bad is that eh? But that's the truth, we all make mistakes. You might find this a lil funny...the job I'm at now...lol I was supposed to start on October 1st and I had to call in sick because I had the flu. Actually my mom had to call in because I couldn't move from bed. Then not even a month after being hired and calling in sick, I had to sit inside doing paper work as I had fallen, badly twisted my ankle and couldn't do the deliveries I was highered to do. Yup, we all make mistakes. Love you doll! |

no matter how much this capitalist society makes us work like machines, we are still humans and we make mistakes. Some people need to take a chill pill. 9-5PM tea break anyone ? ;) |
