Two weeks ago I was late for work for the first time EVER, in my entire life. I thought it was Monday and I did not have to be there until 10 a.m. They were really worried, because I've never been late. I did not answer the phone because I didn't hear it the first time they called. They were going to send someone over to the house to check on me.

Then today an employee called, she was an opener and no one else was there, no manager. I said I would be happy to run over quick (I'm the closest manager to the store) let her in and find out who was supposed to be there. Turns out it was ME, I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE! In my defense I normally only have admin. hours on Friday. I have computer work to do there whenever I find the time to get there. It cannot be submitted before 3:00 p.m. on Friday, but as long as it's completed and submitted by 8:00 Saturday morning, I'm fine. I put in for vacation for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. (With the exception of my admin duties). BUT, every time I've requested vacation in the past, there is an error in my schedule. Every time. I swear to God, I checked and double checked my schedule a month ago and I was off. I don't know what I was looking at because there I was, scheduled from open until 2:00.

I'm making stupid errors (mainly typos) lately like no tomorrow. Thus the request for vacation. This is not me. I have turned into this unreliable idiot. I don't know how to turn this around! I've been making such an effort to compensate for this fog and still I'm standing there with my head up my butt.
