pussy

idd, I'm just well not looking forward to actually doing option b2 :<

you're like 30, still live at home, have no girlfriend(maybe you do) and have no idea what you want to do with your life (this one is natural). Maybe not being yelled at since primary school is your problem

yeah I'm a huge fan of your journals

26 actually, yes I do live at home still.. I could easily move out with my friends (no gf..) but I couldn't live with them for more than 2 weeks. Moving out on my own is the only viable solution and is gonna cost alot more.. plus I only really live in one place and well, it's kinda expensive.

I am actually doing something with my life now... I actually start the course in a few weeks. (finally thank fuck).

rofl @ still live at home

I don't see what's so funny... home is cheap, my foods cooked and I get on well with my parents. All my friends live with there parents too!

Saying that, I would like to move out.. it's just money atm :|

you said you work & live with parents..money should be a non-issue

bum it out with your parents for another year then you can move to china with me

Yea I work but I don't earn enough to live in a £600/month flat I want to move in too. Everything else in my area is located in dodgy places.

I should be earning some extra cash within the next 6months, so moving out might be an option then.

Right now, I'm saving every penny I have.

dodgy places it is! can't be that bad, depending on why you were calling them dodgy :>

near council estates + chavs, enough said.

ah, shame :( if it would've been hookers and crackaddicts you'd be fine.

they will eat you if you give them the chance

Long as you're not a massive cunt people are people & generally there be little bother...

But [+] dird - the fuck you be skint when yer living with mommy?

Lol @ being dird

You admitted you made a pretty big mistake. If you just get yelled at for a shift and not fired, then I'd say it's fine. Take the shit (if it's something you know you did wrong) and keep the job.

b2

I suggest a different approach.

If he starts to yell at you just do the "zidane" kick him in the balls and say "talk to the hand". After that tell him that you are sick of this shitty job and you are going to quit. If you have done this successfully you advice him to yell at his wife because she is a fucking whore who had a threesome with you and her daughter last night and then walk off :=)

next times something like that happens:

knock the receiver on the table once or twice, mutter something like "crappy phone" and hang up. Most people have calmed down when they call again ;)



You should definately go to work, if he is still in that mood and can't be reasoned with you should walk out.

Mistakes happen and every boss should know it. So, there is a good chance he was "just" yelling at you to give you a clear message: Don't ever make that mistake again. My superior is like that, he is very, very good and making people feel crap about their mistake. Then calls you the next day and is the friendliest guy, adressing you with the usual "honey" or "bunny" (yeah he is a fun guy). And you make damn sure you never repeat that mistake.

Also, good superiors want to know if their people really feel guilty about their mistakes, cause that means you care about your tasks! That's especially important if you work on your own, most of the time!

tl;dr:

Go to work tomorrow, apologize for the mistake right away, and say you really regret it and find out how your boss reacts. If your boss is more calm then and can tell you feel guilty it should be fine.
If he is still yelling, consider to quit.

Good advice.

what did you do what did you do

My boss drove over from Belgium to see some companies I booked meetings with..

Today he left Belgium and drove 400miles to Oxford, only to find out the address I given him was wrong (old database..) and the meeting was in Slough.

I foresaw this issue on Friday though so I rang all the companies and checked their addresses. Somehow I either missed this company or some at the company lied. I think it was probably me missing the company.

He has several more meetings over the coming week, I'm anticipating another address cock up :|

well, in that moment I might have ended up shouting at you, too.
:]

holy shit, this is pretty important, how can you miss something like that? i would fire you after i'm done with the travels

It was a pretty dumb mistake, one that I knew could happen.. which is why I rang all the companies the week before to confirm addresses. The one I got wrong must of been engaged when I rang and I must of forgot to go back to it.

Also, he didn't just drive 400 miles to go see this one customer... he took the scenic route to visit this customer on his way to the UK office (where I work). He also had several other meetings which went fine.

Yes, I would of been raged if I were him, but firing me for one easily made mistake... (my first..) would be slightly over the top.. but understandable.

Please tell me you're not a secretary? :v

Nope, I'm a BDM.

Bitch doing Mapwork?

man up and go in...

jeez, i actually am going in, not going isn't an option unfortunately.

I was hoping for some funny answers/advice..

The dream: Go to work, bring a cal.45 handgun(if you're not in the Us, bring a hacksaw).

The reality: Face it, cry some, then continue with your life.

punch him in the mouth then get a real job

kill em all and let god sort them out

oh wait:

kill em all and let cooller sort them out

pull an hero

it seems it wasnt much of a fuck up if you have time to post on esr :) man up, come to work.

1. Got shouted at on phone
2. Fixed problem
3. Continue to browse ESR & Reddit
4..????
5. PROFIT

esr is main motivation, meaning esr equals $$$ :)

only if you enjoy your job

Ask him if he tried militia

ye, he probably gets promoted for asking that :D

Maybe he should give his boss a copy of militia? he'll never want to visit again

Wtf? When something like that happens with me it's always someone elses fault.

come to work, admit fuckup , bullshit him about how youll get better and work harder.

ofc you take his shit while thinking he is a douchebag

Getting shouted at is so horrible.. right?

your boss sounds like an idiot, no man in his right mind would hire a male secretary.

Of course you go to work.

GL.

take dump on boss's desk

LIKE A BAAOSS!

My advice:

As Becks suggested, apologise for the cock-up(s) but more importantly tell him what you will do to ensure it does not happen again.

If the address thing was down to an old database tell him that you are double checking the database to make sure everything is up to date.

if he still shouts at you after you apologised and told him how you were going to avoid this happening again, you have every right to quit.

I know it is difficult if you don't have something else to go to but you also need to consider quality of life. Working for a twat will start impacting your moods, your motivation and things can start go downhill from there. Been there.

Quitting a shitty job feels liberating and something else always turns up - usually for the better.

Good luck dude

masturbate

Walk in with crutchs and a bandage over you head. Tell people you got mugged last night. Maybe even judiciously smash your face against a wall for appearances. Nobody in their right mind can yell at a person in such a state.

Otherwise, let your boss know he's being a douche if he yells at you again. I don't know how unemployment works in the UK, but it's pretty nice in the states.

What happen

how did it go?

Was np as predicted.

GZ! :D

1 night stand his wife

best advice

1 night stand his wife, brag about it on esr, wait till thread fills up with + and replies, print out, show boss, tell boss you're the boss now

, fire boss for being a loser with a cheating wife, hire some random low-life to find adresses for you,

low lifer gets address wrong, you yell at low-lifer, low-lifer makes post on esr

The ape has only got four fingers.

Well, maybe we just can't see the thumb due to the camera angle.

true that. thanks.

What about the apes right hand?

had it clenched in anger, the mandrill just found out that his wife left him for a young baboon
