i have just had the worst night at my work ever! i managed a multitude of mishaps all in the last hour. probably won't mean much to anyone but basically i fell out with the paypoint machine bigtime, lost my swipe card for signing on my till (still lost) and then when i tried to answer the phone when my boss was phoning (presumably to give me huge row) i managed to break that aswell. i then tried to use the other phone to phone back but it wasn't working either... boss ended up coming into the shop. i never got in trouble but now i feel guilty about all the mayhem i caused. bad bad night.

Everybody has their bad days so dont feel alone! I remember one day at work i was in such a bad mood i just could not wait til 5pm to log off and go home, i got a call at 4.59pm and was not pleased! Luckily the caller wanted to speak to a manager anyway so when i was "storming" off to get a manager i forgot to take my headset off, my phone and my pc came with me! :eek:

But hey, that fair cheered me up! [lol]

Just relax for a while, put your feet up and enjoy the rest of your evening. Things can only get better! ;)

i know it's silly worryin about it now it's done but we all got warned the other night about that stupid machine as there have been problems with money not adding up etc. now with me making such a huge bloop it'll look like all the other times were me aswell grrrr. surely because i held my hands up and didn't try to hide it will work in my favour. i am usually pretty good at my job and confident at it but now i feel a bit sheepish and sorry for myself. what a choob i am. don't think it'll be forgotten quickly, i have a feeling i may have to explain myself a few more times aswell.

Not where I work it isn't.

I slept in last Thursday, was an hour late for work, and in my haste to get the plant running I input the wrong code, (1 digit wrong), to pc. The end result was a road crew having to move machinery 3 miles along the road to lay 240 tons of 28mm base material instead 20mm sub-base. If they hadn't been so co-operative then I was in line for a £40,000 kick up the arse. :eek: :(

Dont feel un-important. Every job is important, hence why there are people picked to do them. :D I worked in the shoe shop with my mum, some might say i worked in the shoe shop, but i felt important because i was fitting shoes properly to a childs feet. So....think about it this way, your making sure people have their groceries by turning up for work and being there! ;)
