Help! I need some cheering up from my Passporter frieds!!! I've been REALLY down lately, I think partially because so many people from here are at WDW this week, and I don't have a trip planned anytime soon.

Anyway, I wanted to do something to cheer myself up, and I knew Jerry Seinfeld was coming to our city Thursday night for a concert. I did a STUPID thing. I ducked out of work early to go, and being that this is a small town, I was spotted by some coworkers. Mind you, they never came up to me and said hello, they just told everyone else, including managemnet, that I was there, instead of going home sick from work like I said. One manager said something to me today, but no one else has said anything yet. The manager I "ducked out on" will be there Saturday, so I may have to face her. I already have some issues with her, so this is just the ammunition she needs to use against me. The manager and the supervisor that I left Thursday don't really know how to run the service desk, which was kind of another point of mine (though I'd never admit that to management). I guess they tried to call people in, and no one could come in to help. I heard a membership got screwed up so badly that they had to give someone one for free. The personnel manager is on vacation until next week, and I think my immediate supervising manager is off this weekend. I'm off Monnday, so I figured out that it probably won't be until Wednesday until I'm called upstairs. I'm not sure how much trouble I'm in, if it's a "write-up" for leaving work, or whatever. They can't really do anything to me about lying (I said I was sick when I asked to leave), it's more of a trust issue, I think. The irony is, I really do feel nauseous now. How could I have been so stupid???

Oh, BTW, I DID enjoy myself at the show, until the next day at work! Jerry Seinfeld coming here is like a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and I walked in with no ticket and got a seat in the 4th row (far right). He was very funny, as was Mark Shirr (sp.?) who opened for him; lots of new material.

So, where was Jiminy Cricket "Let your conscience be your guide" when I needed him???

Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear that - how unlucky.

I guess if we're honest, most of us have done something like this somewhere along the line and not been found out. I really hope that you're not in too much trouble. Sending lots and lots of

your way.

And don't forget - we're all still here as well, while those girls and Bill are having fun in Disney! Any time you need us, we're waiting to listen!

How unlucky to get seen Lisa, I hope you don't get into too much trouble for it.
As Cheryl said we're always here to talk to if you want to.
Take care of yourself.

Lisa.

Good luck Lisa, seems like your giving your best to that job in difficult circumstances. We all need a break every now and then - who can blame you.

Hope everything works out for you. Often I find the things I worry most about just never happen.

Julie.

I'm sorry Lisa

. Maybe you should tell your manager the truth, say that you were feeling stressed at work and it was making you feel sick so you asked to go home. You were heading home but on the spur of the moment thought of something that would make you feel better and did it.

We're all here if you need to talk

.

Take care

Karen

More pixies Lisa - sounds like you need them.

Hope things blow over quickly - like Cheryl said, everyone has done something similar sometime in their lives, hopefully, your manager will be understanding.

lauren-roxy · 05-14-2005, 09:16 AM

Sorry for your bad luck Lisa. Tons of pixies heading your way for all the troubles.

I think this is what I would do. Good advice Karen!

Good Luck, Don't sweat it. It is done and you can not undo it....

simbarel · 05-14-2005, 12:11 PM

Oh Liiiisa! We have the same bad luck! I TOTALLY know how you feel. Just know that you're a good worker, face your boss with dignity, and just know that this feeling will go away soon.

**2princessmom** · 05-14-2005, 12:14 PM

I am so sorry! Sending pixie dust that it goes well with management. Maybe they won't make a big deal out of it.

We are always here if you need us!

GoofyMom · 05-14-2005, 07:44 PM

I hope that it blows over quickly Lisa, with little or no repercussions!

Oh boy Lisa, that's a tough one! I got caught at our school's City Championship football game once when I had called out sick from my job at SuperFresh when I was in highschool but luckily the guy who caught me was a friend and although he tortured me he didn't tell on me but it still made me feel really guilty especially when they lost the game! I think Karen gave you some really good advice and I know how you feel. I had some real problems at my last full time job and before I finally left I felt nauseous every day before I went in wondering what was going to happen with that certain "someone" that day. Here's lots of pixie dust that you feel better through the weekend and that everything is all right when you meet with your manager when she gets back.
