Today at work I was flipping some burgers as usual when a coworker yelled out to me “how to spell occupation” for some reason. She shouldn’t have even been on her phone and I don’t know why she asked me of all people to spell ‘occupation’ and why she needed to use that word in the first place is beyond me but that’s not important.
I tried to sound it out I just didn’t know how to spell it. There were like a bunch of other people they were all watching. I just broke down in tears then and there and ran to the bathroom. It was so embarrassing. I left like 3 hours early as I just couldn’t take being there anymore. I can’t stop thinking about it. I made myself look so stupid in front of everyone. I know I have to go back there soon but I can’t handle the humiliation and + I’m going to be in trouble with the boss for leaving early. I really don’t know what to do.
I really don’t think lying is the best option unless whatever figure authority lacks any compassion.
Also the “I was violently ill yesterday but I’m here today doing just fine” is a little too easy to see through.
Especially because of the situation bwfore they entered the bathroom. Anyone would see through this lie. OP, don’t do this.
Perhaps. As I said:
I’m not great at that kind of thing either.
