I haven't had too many good nights at work lately. Mostly equipment breakdowns that take up time I don't have. Tonight had its own problems to contend with.
I have to admit I am a Christian but I guess I still need work. At times I slip back to telling jokes to people who find them funny. Tonight I was informed someone took offense to some of the jokes - people not in the conversation but listening in all the same. Not their fault. Mine for even talking carnally.
That was offense number 1.
Offense Number 2 was I talked about Internet Pornography. I guess I shouldn't have been explaining to a woman that even if she is in the same room with her children who are on a computer that doesn't protect them. Safeguards like a monitoring program and a program to keep explicit pictures and words from young eyes is a must. Was trying to help her protect her kids. Experience is a tough teacher.
Offense Number 3 seems I was accused to taking things from the trash in the boss' office - such as notes, etc. and telling others about what they said. I admitted to finding a jacket in the trash once but sought the one throwing it away and got permission to keep it if I wanted it. I never go through the trash looking for whatever he thought I was doing.
One night I swatted a female co-worker on the tush with the lid from my lunch container. Why I don't know or remember. Think she was betwen me and my food in the microwave and my food was done. Wasn't like I was chasing her to do it but I did it all the same. Not a usual thing for me to do. She made a comment to the supervisor. He talked to me and said no charges were leveled just she asked I not do that. Next time I saw her I apologized. She accepted the apology and I thanked her for not pushing this further. That became Offence Number 4 last night.
Worked there for 2 and a half years (3 in Oct.) - no coachings, no displinary actions, hard worker and pay raises each time an evaluation came up - and now I don't know if I will still have a job.
I need prayer to (1) put a watch over my mouth so I only speak what God wants me to say; (2) that the worst that happens is a coaching - though I know of another guy who got fired for 'sexual harrassment' and no one I know can believe he ever did that in the 5 years he was there; I don't know what else - my mind is so confused right now. May God's will be done in whatever He feels needs to be done in me and I don't have to be looking for a new job.
I am telling you what happened to: confess my sins to others - to take it out of the darkness and into the light. May God forgive me and deliver me from this mess that my mouth has gotten me into. Thank you for your prayers. Goes to show I am not perfect though I sure wish I could be and if not perfect a much better example of Christ than what I have been.
This is all still under 'investigation' and was told too if 'this' went beyond the office door and he found out I would be fired immediately for violation of integrity. How does one confess anything if they cannot talk to someone? Just hope this doesn't somehow get back to the boss or I'll be looking for another job somewhere else. Sure makes me want to come into work early and work late then have to cut hours so I don't exced 40 hours. Oh well. Please pray for me and this mess.
