I asked myself 338 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 3: often to be honest, and Jim also said if I 339 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: don't have this completed by two pm, he will terminate 340 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: me as I am still on probation. 341 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: Oh no, the job's on the line. 342 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: Dude, everything's on the line now. Like I said, the 343 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: entire file from start to finish, is already complete. So 344 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,359 Speaker 3: what's missing. You might ask the necessary approvals and signatures 345 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: for my team leader and Jim, the director of our office. 346 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: Oh so he's fine, So he just needs to get 347 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: the signatures. 348 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: These signatures usually take a week to get and are 349 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: required before moving on to finalizing and posting in our system. 350 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: I finished this entire MOFO in early October, one week 351 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 3: after it was assigned to me. Oh my god, but 352 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: I completely forgot to submit the individual documents as I 353 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 3: progressed with it, and that eventually led to me completely 354 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: forgetting all about it. Now, the thing is like, actually, 355 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: like op was an overachiever. It was an overachieved That's 356 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: why he forgot it. But here's the thing. If he 357 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: tells him that, then it blows his cover. Then they 358 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 3: know that the whole time he was doing these in 359 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: like five days and then sitting on them the whole time. 360 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: So that's why I couldn't show them the original files. 361 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 3: Oh god, now here we are on Reddit posting about 362 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: my f up as opposed to actually submitting my own work. 363 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 3: So he's literally writing this in the middle of the chaos. 364 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god. 365 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: He's writing it in real time while his boss is 366 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: yelling at him. 367 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: For real.

Do I 370 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: submit the entire file now to Jim for his signature, 371 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: completed top to bottom and own my dishonest action, or 372 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: submit one doc every thirty minutes to seem like it 373 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 3: all went out today to get it completed by two pm.

Jim called me back 379 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 3: into his office a few minutes after submitting and I 380 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: explained how I lost track of time.
