Well we are off on Thursday. She has this file cabinet behind the front desk she likes locked. Well I was doing a project along with duties and had to get something for the project out of the file cabinet. Well I left the key in it and didn't lock it obviously.

She saw it today she goes in to do paperwork. She texted saying I left it open for two days. So now I'm worried. It has junk in it. Like events, and schedules from prior years. And labels. Nothing a thief would want but she likes it locked. Not the first time I forgot either.

I locked the file room. The computer gets locked away, rooms cleaned, calls forwarded, a million other things get done in 15 minutes before we lock the door. But that I forget. I actually try not to use that file drawer because it's a pain in my ***. But she had me use it for the project. And now I'm worried about my job.

I hope she gets over it quickly.

Do you do well otherwise? Would she fire you over this?

Guess not I just worry. She actually bought me a birthday present. My birthday is Monday.

Just apologize for it and DON'T DO IT AGAIN! I got fired for a similar reason before. I left the safe at a center for mental illness open for the entire weekend!

One way to prevent this in the future is by creating a checklist of everything you have to do at the end of the day before you lock up. That way you'll make sure not to forget anything.
