    Once again, I find myself wondering whose life I'm living.

    It's not a terrible life, it's not a great life, but it certainly isn't my life.

    I'm pretty sure I just got myself fired.

    My night was going pretty crappy to begin with, and when the timeclock started acting up after lunch, I lost my temper and punched the wall.

    I realized what I was doing as I was doing it, and managed to pull my punch some, but I still left a pretty sizable dent.

    So, yeah. That happened.

    Surely you wouldn't get fired for just punching a wall? It's not like it's an employee or something.

    I did damage to the store. I've seen people fired for a lot less.

    I told my shift supervisor what happened.

    I don't believe in lying.

    Even if I hadn't said anything, they could have easily checked the security tapes and seen me do it.

    Fair enough. It's not like you've cost the store anything though, and if it was next to the clocking station then I assume it was in the back, out of the view of customers?
    I still think you'd be unlucky to get fired over it; from a managerial point of view it'd be more inconvenient to replace you than to fix/ignore a damaged bit of wall.

    Normally, yes.

    Unfortunately, our store manager has a love for the Walmart corporation that borders on the creepy.

    She's almost certainly going to flip out over someone hurting her precious store.

    Well, kinda sounds like it's out of your hands now anyway; ain't nothing to be gained by worrying.
    Hopefully the consequences won't be that bad.

    Good luck, man. I hope it doesn't happen.
    Well, I think you did the right thing. Hopefully your manager takes that into consideration.

    I kicked a hole in a wall once when I was a cart pusher, and didn't even get in trouble because I was forthcoming and remorseful and offered to pay for it when the store manager asked me about it. He didn't even take me up on my offer.

    Welp, time to go to work.

    I feel like I'm on my way to my own funeral.

    If it makes you feel any better (it won't), I didn't even go to work this morning. I slept in on accident. At least I'm quitting anyway, I'm halfway through putting in my two weeks.

    How did everything go, by the way?

    I didn't get fired, which I'm assuming means one of two things:
    A. I'm not going to get fired
    or
    B. Our store manager is on yet another vacation and hasn't seen the wall yet.

    Pretty sure it's just water with black ink. Don't know what I expected.

    So how is everyone else's day.
