i asked a question a little while ago about if i should go in to work or not, when i have a paper due for school. i wound up calling my boss & saying that i can work friday if i don't have to work saturday, which she was okay with. however when i got off the phone my sister told me (she was being serious) that what i said sounded retarted. she said i was like "i um have an apointment with my mom um i mean i have an apointment and i can only work friday if she can change, i mean if my mom can change the apointment to saturday, so i wouldn't be able to work then." obviously saying i have an apointment with my mom souds reatarted & now i am embaressed. if by any chance they want to know what apointment it was, what do i say? i don't make apointments with my mom. i also feel embaressed that i almost sounded like i was stuttering (& lying, perhaps) when i told her this. what should i do?!?!

At the end of the day, you haven't missed any time from work because you're working the Friday instead and you are doing what's best for your education, which should always come first. So don't worry too much about it and concentrate on doing your paper. Everything will be fine. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
