Ok, so I made a couple mistakes at work. I won't go into specifics, but I have a meeting with my supervisor in the morning. I expect to get either a verbal or written warning, but I'm terrified that I'm going to be fired. I talked to one of the supervisors, and she assured me that I don't need to worry about losing my job, but I don't know if she would say that regardless of what's actually going to happen.

I'm trying not to stress, and it's not going well. I've known about the meeting since Tuesday, and I've been scared ever since.

One of the mistakes was simple, but the other was a bit more severe. I've owned up to my mistakes. I won't lie and try to gloss over it or anything, because one thing I will say about myself is that I'm honest.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and if you pray, please say a prayer that I don't lose my job. Also please pray that I can stay calm today and also in the morning during the meeting.

I've got all fingers, toes whatever I can cross for you becky. I got fireds from a job(hated) because I made some mistakes. They were looking for me to make mistakes, because of my ongoing medical thru HR. my Co. hated me for that, fellow workers hated me, all because I would call in or during my shift I would tell them I'm to sick to continue. Then they would force me to work OT hopeing that i would quit. Luckily our art business has taken off again so the only bummer is ins. (big bummer) the only reason I took that job was for ins. Blackjack dealer in casino. the worst for flareing cd person. I feel for you, I know how nervous you must be. I made my mistakes because of pred. i couldn't think straight, and i had to do all that math all the time. Is there anyway you could explain about thinking and medications, and are they aware of your cd?

They aren't aware of the CD. I work PRN (which means I sign up for shifts, and I'm not guaranteed hours) and I don't want them to know so that hopefully I can get a permanent position with them in the future. My CD has not affected my work, and I have only had to call in once but gave them 2 days notice before the shift I had. It was because of an obstruction I was hospitalized for, but I told them it was because I had had surgery in the past, but didn't explain fully.

So here's my plan: I will own up to my mistakes, and I'll tell them that the fact that it's happened will make me more aware of what I'm doing in the future, so that it will not happen again. I also will tell them that other employees have commented that patients really like me and have said that I'm very good with them.

Thank you all for your support! I appreciate it SO much!

Well, you were honest about it and everyone makes mistakes. If they wanted perfect employees there would be no one to work. Hopefully, your just being hard on yourself. Take care.

Good Luck! Positive thoughts are sent your way. Keep calm and I applaud your honesty. Most people would not be honest and try to blame others for their mistakes. Honesty is always the best policy and hopefully it will pay off for you. (((hugs)))

Becky, hopefully things will go well tomorrow. (((Hugs))) I think what you plan to say tomorrow is spot on, and hopefully will make the conversation quick and painless.

Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

Aaah, it's over! I got a verbal warning. It went far better than I though it would.

You were all right, I made it to be much worse in my mind than it actually was!

Thanks for all your support!

Great news! I'm glad to hear that you still have your job!!!

I'm sooooo glad for you. I do the exact same thing. Every thing is always bigger and worse in my head. Its taken me 46 years to learn to take a few days and calm down and then things always seem to sort themselves out, and if not, then they weren't meant to.

So happy you had a "good" ending!
