I think you should play it cool, you'll get the line 'you know what your office hours are, everyone else gets here etc., stop being a twat and get here on time' Next time you wake up late, call in sick! Also this ain't the first time is it, your boss must be a bit wound up as he/she tried the softly softly approach and you've taken no notice Cheers fella. Well quite, apart from anything else it's a bit fooking embarrassing!  Hmm yeah but see my comment - on the odd occasion I've been so knackered that I didn't make it out of bed I'm not able to call in am I? That's kinda the point. And like GT says "say it won't happen again" - but will it?  I hope he doesn't think I've taken no notice - that's the thing isn't it. people make assumptions. I've felt complete panic and guilt each time it's happened...  Look mate, your boss is probably not that comcerned about you being late because you do a good jobe etc., the problem is he can't be seen to let it go as everyone else will start doing it. Also you've probably ot some twat in that office who's shit at their job but turns up on time and makes sure they complain about everything |

My sister in law works for the council, and did exectly as I've outlined. It turned in his haste to discipline her, her boss had not given her a written warning or ample time to prepare for her disciplinary hearing. After she contacted her personnel department to point this out, it all went away. Her boss however, was called in for a meeting with the head of personnel, where he was reminded of his duties and the councils discipliary proceedures. Unfortunately dude I think the relevant 2 weeks notice have been given, it's all by the book! Never mind though... if I can survive here until the end of 2007, that's my target date for changing jobs lol!  |

No don't do that, it means you can't cope! Arguably I can't, it's fucking hard trying to hold down a job and do a pretty taxing course... I'm not quite the genius I sometimes make out I guess Look mate, I'm sure a little pain will be worth it in the long run, less school night drinking maybe? |

I don't blame him at all. Yes, this is the irony of life... there's a good Gary Larson cartoon about it... let me try and find it...  Yur tis!  |

Then cut back on the school night drinking, as Hurls suggested!! |

Look mate, I'm sure a little pain will be worth it in the long run, less school night drinking maybe? Yes fella - but to you, A2V, and anyone else who's presuming again - I wasn't out drinking last Wednesday night. Was just so fooking knackered Thursday morning that I managed to somehow turn off two alarm clocks in my sleep?!  |

I'm not quite the genius I sometimes make out I guess Having done my HNC while still at work, I can agree entirely with that statement. Those courses are often hard enough on their own, never mind with extra responsibilities and real life thrown in. But then, when you do pass it, I suppose it just shows how fantastic you are! |

Well maybe not that night but try to make that rule and just hit it at the weekends, just friendly advice mate. Your boss maybe making these assumptions, as he knows you like a tipple Sort it mate, you don't want to be one of the few to be dismissed from the council |

Was just so fooking knackered Thursday morning that I managed to somehow turn off two alarm clocks in my sleep?! Sorry just following the natural train of thought ........... I'm sure everyone else thought the same!! Somethings going to have to give though isn't it?? If you can't get up in the morning, then it' points to you having too much on your plate ......... and you not getting enough kip!! |

Don't join Opus Dei or any club in Soho then Julio! Trust me honey I'm the least likely person to join Opus Dei I know... I have a few mates who go to fetish clubs sometimes but I imagine it would freak me out... there's freaky, and there's freaky...!  |
