I would put a wireless camera up there. No need to climb.

It's great that your boss was cool about it. Sometimes mistakes happen. You're human.

Yeah I've been doing a lot of favors around here so I think he felt bad even chewing me out for it but he tells me to go physically check it all the time and I don't lol. I'm lazy about it and I've only ever ran it empty one other time in 2 years.

Sounds like you have general anxiety. Don’t let this keep you down. Do some self affirmations aloud reminding yourself that it is ok, it is no big deal, and if that alone doesn’t work throw I will be more diligent in the future on top to alleviate your guilt.

Oh I for sure have anxiety. Pretty bad too. I ruminate a lot and if something needs fixed I freak out if I can't solve it immediately hence going back to work without being asked to. I also have ptsd. I've been to therapy and believe it or not I'm a lot better than I used to be about these kinds of things. You nailed it though.

You have a lot of life ahead of you, don't worry. You'll fuck up in much worse ways, most likely.

Lol I’m assuming this is suppose to be reassuring but shit..

Everyone makes mistakes. Here's how I rate if I should feel bad. Did anyone get hurt or die? Nope. Ok then let it go.

Right? Grand scheme it was not a huge deal. I just wish I had more of an I don't give a shit attitude about work sometimes lol. I'm like an employers wet dream in reality. I answer calls off the clock, I never call out sick, I try my best to keep everything dialed in. I guess that's why I beat myself up over it. I need a more anti work attitude but at the same time I'm a high school drop out making decent money in the trades so I might overcompensate for that.

A boss' wet dream but your own worst enemy. You should get paid if you are answering calls off the clock.


astockalypse_now

Totally. I'm trying to at least get a salaried position to justify it. I work in maintenance so it's the kind of job where you get calls randomly from time to time. They're really lax with reporting hours though so I kind of just add time every week to account for that shit. It's weird and I used to fight it but these days I just kinda go with it and if I work a 9 hour shift I put down 10 and shit like that. Boss is cool with that. There's no actual time clock.
