You don’t make a violent angry scene at the workplace without facing the consequences later on. At least, this is the case if you’re a responsible citizen of the world, which is a status I continually strive for.
I was just asked, politely, not to show up at work tomorrow while the Powers That Be consult with Corporate HR about the problem that is yours truly. Before anyone gets angry at… anyone, really, please keep in mind that they’re within their rights to do this much. I don’t know what sort of action they want to take next, though, and that’s what scares me silly. If I’m lucky it’ll be some docked pay and a mark on my permanent record. If I’m not… well, I’m trying very hard not to dwell on the worst-case scenario. Very.
Of course, eventually one of my rare flashes of mindless rage had to get me into more trouble than my natural talents and normal good nature could get me back out of, huh? Maybe this is the time I finally have to pay the piper. It would just figure, wouldn’t it? Still… I hope not.
I like my job, dammit.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed, hon. You’d think that they would perhaps realize that you are overworked & underpaid and get almost no respect for the actual work you do, and I really hope they figure that out BEFORE they try to replace you & realize nobody qualified is willing to take the job for the pittance they’re paying you.
I too have my fingers crossed for you. Good luck…
urgh… That just sucks… I’ll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you… *hugs*
Dude, major suckage. I hope they realize that it’s a one off incident that’s not worth giving you the PFO for. Keep us posted! I hope it goes well.
I have an idea…Next time you have a paying job that allows you to watch Japanese cartoons all day, instant message your friends all day, consider yourself lucky, not underpaid and don’t act like helping someone is such an inconvenience unless you look real good on paper my friend. You made your bed now you sleep in it my friend. I am actually happy at the thought of asking for an occassional hand and not being made to feel stupid by you!
professional commentary above.
Personal commentary – you are a pretty cool person outside of work so I am sorry for your loss.
