In the 10 + years I’ve been working in retail, I’ve never missed a shift due to mis-reading the schedule. Today was the first time. I got both the day AND the time wrong.
I left my phone upstairs with the ringer off while I made dinner. After dinner, I wrote out my schedule for the next two weeks (lots of stuff going on, a baby shower, a wedding, two birthdays and an anniversary, 40 hours a week at my new job, etc)
Good thing I got a second job today.
I feel really upset though. Mainly because I can’t go in, as I got up at 7 or so this morning and I’m already crashing (I couldn’t handle working until 1 am. I’d make more mistakes and cost everyone more time, especially since it’s my third day on the job.)
I know it was a stupid mistake, at a new job with a confusing scheduling system. I still feel like a moron.
