Update re: shiit shiit shiit (long long long)
Ah, drama. How I love thee. NOT.
Emailed my boss and said only this: "I'm sorry. I should never have eluded that it was a patient. I feel like an idiot. I'm sorry." Not the greatest, but it was the best I could come up with without giving her a bunch of (what would seem like) excuses.
So I got an email back saying that my post wasn't too bad, but the comments that were made on it were even worse, and she knows they weren't my comments, but were still made. The post easily could have been reported and she knows that I meant no malice by it, but you don't know who would see that. She had to tell our clinical operations director (her boss) and that the conversation between the two of us is enough, but doesn't want to see it or hear of it ever again. If she does, it will result in disciplinary action, and that we can talk more about it in the morning.
I was just like, holy crap. I just got a verbal warning. So I'm freaking out, and called my sister (I didn't want to tell Adam because I knew I'd get a lecture instead of sympathy) and cried hysterically, saying how could I be so stupid as to do that, I meant for it to be funny, like, hey someone just called me fat, etc.
Then I called my boss. I knew she said that we could talk more in the morning, but I would have been a wreck at work tonight, dreading 6:30am. I called and started the conversation crying (because I really hadn't stopped crying after talking to my sister). She tells me not to worry, that she really didn't care that I wrote it, but it could have been seen by someone and that I really need to be careful. She didn't sound mad at all, and she said, I'm not mad, I'm just annoyed. She said not to stress about it. She thought it was funny until she realized it was a patient, and said that I could have said "someone" or "some guy" or something like that.
All in all, I guess it turned out well. I told Adam when he got home and he, as presumed, told me never to write anything about work on FB (which, yes I know, but I hadn't intended it to be a bad post) which made me almost start crying again.
Got to work and I felt like everyone knew. I don't think they did, but I still felt like it. It's a gossip factory here. I still wanted to cry. So now, here I am, having only gotten one more hour of sleep (managed to get in an hour after I talked to my boss and felt better) for a total of maybe 4 hours to work a 12 hour shift. Coffee please??
So that's it. Thanks for being so supportive guys. I know what I did was stupid, but I didn't mean for it to turn into this, I just thought it was a funny thing someone said. I just used one wrong word. I'm trying not to beat myself up about it, since, as Adam said, "Well you learned from that. The best thing you can do is focus on doing a good job now and not stress about something that has already been taken care of and that you have already apologized for." Easier said than done, my love.
*headdesk* must stay awake.
"You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."

It will! I can sympathize because I'm the same way you are about things like that; I completely freaked out a couple of months ago about a goof I made at work, and Matt had to listen to me panic about it off and on for weeks. But it'll be forgotten soon.
This would be me as well!!!
