Love hate

I said I hated my job but I don't want to lose it.  It's like with men, there's no guarantee that I can get another one.


I look at my calendar today and saw that I was supposed to work yesterday.  I got my days confused.  I went to my work to straighten things out.  I may get suspended for 3 days.  :(  I knew I would screw up somehow.  Thank goodness I have an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner on Monday.

Mistakes happen. Going in to tell them why will I am sure it goes a long way. You showed that you care about the job. But why didn't they call? For many of my jobs, if you were late by 15 min, you would get a call. You would get a lot of ribbing for a week or so, but if it is habitual then yes - a lot of trouble was coming your way. Just try harder and figure out a better method of reminding yourself. You are only human.

Jenn keep putting one foot after the other and keep going forward. We all screw up just means your human. Find an easier way to manage the time you are supposed to be at work and supposed to be off...

Keep looking for jobs, keep filling out applications, a year at this job will look just fine on a resume....forward progress isn't always a straight line...just keep moving!

Big hug. I’ve done it before too. And I’ve been written up for it years ago, but my boss later told me a story about when she misread a schedule too, and that made me feel better. We are all human, and adjusting to schedules that change all the time wouldn’t be easy on ANY human.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
