Great Debate
Posted by seamonster02 on May 9, 2008
So today I kind of snapped at my Lt in front of others. It happened right as my shift was coming to a close - I acted ungraciously when he corrected me on something. In my defence, I have slept maybe four hours since 9pm Tuesday. Too much going on to actually sleep. Really, I think part of it is adjusting to this shift - I thought I was but now seem to be struggling.
Still, its no excuse. I’m not one to be disrespective or insubordinate to supervisors. I feel badly about it. As I sit here at Panera, I keep thinking I should call to apologize. Part of me, though, thinks he’d ind that weird - apologizing for a minor infraction - and I don’t want to be considered weird or strange.
The other part of me thinks I should apologize now not only for his benefit but also for my own because I’ll probably stress over it for hours, whereas if I picked up the phone now, my conscience would be clear.
Another thought is that I’m still very exhausted which increases the likelihood that I’d flub up the apology making the whole thing more bizarre. This Lt has been under a lot of pressure himself lately and it bothers me that I probably added to his discontentment. Maybe I’ll send him an email….
