Awesome! I get to leave work early!

[ralerin]

...Yeah right.

Right, on Saturdays, me and Coworker come in at the same time, 2 ish and leave at the same time, which is near 8. At 7:30, because I got there earlier, I pull my register and count it down first, which takes me about 15 minutes. After that, I just went into autopilot mode. With the store manager hovering nearby, trying to fix photo and Coworker wandering past with his drawer to the office, I punch out, tell everyone bye, go off to the backroom, grab my stuff and call my parents to let them know I'm coming home.

"You're calling us a few minutes early."

"Yeah, I know, do you need anythin...hmm...uh, what? OH SHIT!"

I book it back up front, throw my stuff into the breakroom and punch back in, going, "Damnitdamnitdamndamndamn."

I was laughed at for a good 5 minutes straight. >_<

Am I missing something here?

What did you forget?

[ralerin]

That I still had 15 minutes to go before I left but I completely forgot about that and instead gathered up my stuff and made to leave.

Just find some 'work' that takes 15 minutes to do...or hide off in the back. Besides, it's only 15 bloody minutes.

Ive done that before. So , dont feel too bad. One time I made it home at 7:15pm....meaning I had left way before that and my shift didnt end until 7:30. Yeah..no idea what I was thinking (and I obviously wasnt looking)...I called the job and they laughed at me. We werent busy anyways.

I once punched out an hour early before. I don't know what came over me, but my coworkers were coherent enough to realize what I did before I did and stopped me. I think my brain was just totally fried.

Where I work they offer E time, or early release if you like it, right after taxes I took 1 hour of etime a day, last week I stopped taking it. but still found myself walking to my truck 1 hour early. d'oh.
