This time, I would like to share my experience when I was late in my third month with the company.
In my first year of working, I was late for the first time.
And you know what?I was late on the day I shouldn't have been late the most, and it was a complete disaster.
The reason I decided to tell you this story is that right after I was late for work, I felt very depressed and thought, "It is impossible for a working person to be late for work.
Everyone else is making the same mistakes."
Of course, being late is not good. But, you know, we all make mistakes. Oversleeping is something that happens to everyone.
I also thought it was important to admit failure, accept it, and reopen the situation. It is more harmful to drag it out, isn't it?
As a little food for thought, "What the heck, I'm not the only one. I'm not the only one. I'm going to tell you this story in the hope that it will make you think, "Oh my God, I'm not the only one.
I was late on a day I wasn't supposed to be late.
Now I would like to talk about my blunder.
It happened at the company I joined as a new graduate (a black company). (That company I quit after 5 months.)
I think it was about three months after I joined the company. I was just a shiny newcomer.
At the time, I was assigned to do something like organize a certain study group at the company. I was grateful even though I was new to the company.
Finally, the first day of the study session! On the day of the first day of the workshop, an incident occurred.
The moment you wake up in the morning, the moment your eyes really pop open.
I have a bad feeling about this..." I looked at the clock on my phone.
10 AM
I had goosebumps, like my whole body's hair follicles were chilled out, or maybe it was cold sweat. I really wonder what that feeling was. It was like a "SAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I'm so bloody sick.
I really should have been at work before 8:00, but I woke up at 10:00.
It is time to start the study session, not just the morning meeting.
It's done...it's done...it's done...it's done. ・・・・
I thought so.
There's no such thing as oversleeping.why of all things?I'm going to sleep in on this day.
My boss was scary as an ogre, so it was already pitch black ・・・・・.
I really didn't want to go to work. I felt like I was in the abyss.
The reason for my tardiness was that I guzzled plum wine rocks (about 1 liter) on my tired body the day before.
That's right.
I shouldn't have done what I did the night before when I guzzled alcohol.
It was not the alcohol that was bad, but my act of guzzling the day before was completely out of line.
I usually drink at least one can of beer at home, but I didn't drink that many on days when I had to work the next day.
But that day, I really wanted to drink plum wine, so I went to the supermarket and bought a 1 liter bottle of plum wine.
I don't know why I bought it.
I drank half a glass of wine, thinking, "If it's just for a taste..." It was unexpectedly delicious, and I drank it in gulps. ・・・・・・
Super guzzling. Where is my self-control?
It was delicious, I drank it all up with greed, and then went to sleep with a good mood.
The feeling of "I have a study session tomorrow, so I have to brace myself" had all but vanished.
I called to apologize, but my boss didn't pick up.
After accepting the reality and stiffening up for a moment, I adjusted my sleepy voice and called my boss.
But the boss is not answering the phone. (Probably at a seminar)
I left a message on their voicemail as it was and emailed them.
I think I called & left a voicemail for a supervisor further up the line at that time.
I was already in tears of fear....
Then I quickly got ready and left the house.
I arrive at work at 11:00. The boss I least want to see is in the office and tearfully apologizes.
I quickly got ready and arrived at the office around 11:00 a.m. ... I saw my boss sitting there, the boss I least wanted to see.
Usually that boss is out of the office at the time, but more often than not, he is in the office that day ・・・・・・ crying
(What is this bad timing? )
Then, shaking, I went in front of my boss and apologized. Of course, I told him honestly that I overslept.
I was already too nervous to understand what he was saying.
At any rate, I'm going to go with the most disgusting boss I've ever seen in my life, from the looks of his face.
The senior employees were supporting you for your big day, you know." He said to me in a low voice with a sharp edge to it.
I still vividly remember that one word.
I was 10 billion percent at fault, so I just apologized to all the supervisors involved in the situation.
Already, "It's the end of the world・・・・" I thought so many times already, and I was so miserable, depressed, and couldn't stop crying.
I blamed myself many times, saying, "It's impossible for a working person to be late..." At the time. At that time.
Later, after apologizing in passing, I managed to calm myself by frantically searching the Internet for examples of similar mistakes I had made.
It really saved my life - I don't know who you are or where you are from, but it was a relief to know that there are a lot of people out there who have been through the same thing.
Is it possible to be late as a member of society? What I think now
Of course, being late is not a good idea. A lot of working people make plans and act based on time, and there are other people involved besides you.
Even I thought, "It is impossible for a working person to be late," back then.
But you know what?I don't think it's necessary to feel terribly depressed because I was late. I feel sorry for myself, but I don't want to drag it out.
Because, you know, we're human beings! It can't be helped!Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has been late many times in their lives, right? New workers are human beings, too, and I wonder if there are any new workers who have never been late.
."All those who boldly say, "As a member of society, there is no such thing as being late," don't they have any stories of failure? Have you never been late in your life? Are you fulfilling your life as a member of society without bothering others?
I made the worst mistake of being very late on the big day. I have to reflect on that.
But it can't be helped that it has passed. Now you don't have to blame yourself too much.Just improve so you are not late anymore. That's all I'm saying.
Finally.
Sleeping in, being late, and, as a member of society, it would be a basic no-no.
But, however, we are human beings.
I can't help what I've done.The first is that it is a very good idea to use the same type of equipment as the second.
So don't beat yourself up too much.
Serious children will always feel that they have failed, that they are no good. They get sick, especially the sensitive ones.
But we're only human: ！！！！！！
I'm not trying to justify myself, but I think oversleeping is one of those mistakes that we all make once or twice.
I mean, when you fail.It's also an important skill as a member of society to change your mind and start working hard again the next day.I think it's a good idea. (I'd prefer not to oversleep, though.)
I hope this story of my oversleeping will make someone feel relieved that we all experience failure.
By the way, since then, I don't drink plum wine the day before work anymore. Ha ha ha.
