It seems big to me but at the same time it seems so little and had I not done what I did last Saturday I actually would not be this stress. So now I need help to figure out what I am going to do.

Kay so last Saturday I decided to not go to work and play hooky. Now my parents don't know that I do this from time to time because when I do call in sick I just stay out of the house and browse stores until my shift is suppose to be over. Well last week I called the minute my shift started and my manager just kept saying "but you're calling at nine though." So I hung up on her and feeling like I could not back track from what I did, I decided it would be best to quit my job because there is no point in staying at some place I don't like and call in sick just to skip.

So I had intended to go to work on Sunday and tell them I quit but got scared out of it because I realized since the new years holiday was coming up, the manager that I wanted to talk to was probably on vacation but I am still not even sure.

Well for a while now I have been trying to find a card that was mailed to me from my college. It's just a card for your FASA, something new they are doing where we have to chose how we want our left over FASA money sent to us. I got the card in November I think but at the time I was stressed about telling my mom something so when I got the card it was a last thought.

I cannot find that damn thing though and feel like I might have thrown it away by accident.

I can order a new one but the fee is twenty bucks and right now I am down to five bucks and hell I barely have enough gas in my car right now.

So I feel really stressed out right now. I feel like I don't want to beg for my job back if they have decided to fire me at this point. I don't know what step to now take with the job because I do need it but I don't think I am going to get another chance after what I did last week.

I did start filling out applications but lets face it, January is when seasonal workers are even let go. So I guess I do need to talk to my job but since I waited so long I don't know what to say, who to talk to when I go there. I know I am going to be confronted if I chose to go in work on Saturday and I might be fired on the spot.

I just need help with how to go about this. I mean all these problems could be avoided if I just sucked it up and went to work last week but I didn't and now I am stressed because of a mere twenty bucks and my phone bill for next month........and gas and food. So I need help with what to do. Do I go up there tomorrow? What do I say? Do I bring up last week? Do I beg for my job back if I did lose it? I just don't know.

Basically, you should go into work then only talk to them about it if they bring it up. If so, then try to think of something to tell them in your defense so that you may be able to keep your job.

As for the card, I would have honestly just taken the check because, from what I remember, there is a limit to the smallest amount of money that you can take from the card and a lot of people end up with left over money that they can't spend.. unless they have changed it within the last year or so.

For everything else.. you just need to take initiative, grow up a little, and realize that you sometimes have to do things that you don't wan to do. This includes going to work even if you don't like the job because you do need the money. There is really no reason to slack off on your job or contemplate quitting when you need the income. You stick it out and do what you have to do until you can get into a better situation or a better job.

I would suggest putting in applications everywhere that you can, even if you think you won't get hired. Stay at your job until you can find something better and if you have to beg for the job back then do it. Honestly, no one is better than any job when they're desperate. Potential employers will also look into your work history and having a bad history with your current employer can come back to haunt you. Just step up your game and show some maturity and initiative.

Thank you for commenting. I am going there tomorrow but I might just put in a two weeks notice depending on if they have fired me or not. I mean for me to come so close of being unemployed and then finding out that I still kept the job, I know my feelings are not going to change every Saturday morning so I'm if I am able to leave on a good note I want to put in that notice instead of being fired.
