Apparently I can't tell time
I was scheduled to work at 11:30 today. I'm always scheduled to start on the hour, not the half hour, so I kept reminding myself that I had to be there at 11:30. I totally knew I had to be there at 11:30. But 37 minutes into being there I realized it was 11:37...meaning I got there at 11:00. I looked at the clock before I got dressed, before I left the apartment, numerous times while driving, and when I clocked in. But yet I never realized I was doing everything a half hour early. Clearly, I'm an idiot. But I got paid for an extra half hour, so my stupidity worked out pretty well for me.
Re: Apparently I can't tell time
A half hour of pay for a silly mistake never hurt anyone!
I showed up for work one day when I wasn't scheduled. I was really dreading going in that day too. I smacked myself for that one!
That's hilarious!
I showed up right on time for work one morning (7:30 AM) and I walked in and my boss was like "What are you doing here??" I gave him this blank stare and all I could think in my head was "did I get fired and no one told me?" So I told him "Um, working??" He then told me that there was a two hour delay due to the snow. CRAP!!! I had even watched on tv for the closings and everything and never saw that the military post had been delayed. I SOOOOO could've slept in that day!!!
I used to work 3-11 on Monday nights (it's 1-9 now, which is sooo much better), but the rest of the week I'm 9-5. Well, I work 10-6 on Mondays if we're on summer, Christmas, spring break, etc. because we close at 6:00 instead of 11:00 when the students aren't around. Once I lost track of the fact that it was Fall Break or some random thing like that and I came breezing in at 3:00 pm, only to find out that we were closing 3 hours later and I should have been there at 10:00.
We've all done it a few times, though, so everybody just laughs about it and uses half a vacation day or makes the time up later.
