I'm dreading next weekend. Finally, the other shoe has dropped. My boss got tired of my tardiness and served me with a "Notice to Explain" memo, and our HR Country Manager is flying in next month for an "administrative hearing".
But what can I say? See, I've been late since the first days of the job and I've been here for 1 year 3 months 25 days. I just wake up chronically late. I'm planning to just plead guilty which is the truth. I didn't even consider making up excuses after the initial panic. It was no contest. I haven't told anyone though. Which sucks. The parts that I dread the most:
- the embarrassment of having been served an NTE. i don't want the rest of the office finding out about it, but given the highly efficient grapevine, and my super noisy boss, i'm sure everyone will know. damn it.
- the part of having to explain myself. i don't like talking about myself and explaining my actions to people who don't matter. never have and never will. i hate it the most. the embarrassment is bearable. but i don't want to face the managers and explain. it would feel a lot like a test or an interview, and i don't like failing tests! arrrghhhh
speaking of interviews, i was scheduled for an interview this morning for a food brand. however, i wasn't ready, and so i turned my phone off and ignored the interview schedule. shit. i'm such a dumb ass. but i digress.
after this fiasco in the shipping industry, i am definitely getting a new job. if i don't get fired next week, i am going to resign before my trip in August. enough is enough. time to look for not necessarily greener, but less-rigid pastures. so i better not ignore those job interviews anymore.
ahhh. glad to have that worry out of my chest. you've done it again anon blog.
