Once in a while, I have to really step back and watch the words that come out of my mouth. One day my tongue will get me in real trouble.
Today, being Dec. 11, is my 3-month anniversary since starting my job. As such, my probationary period is done and over with. I had to go sit down with my managers to discuss my progress and what not.
I went to the meeting room and as I sat down, one of them was complaining about his neck hurting. He commented that he was probably “becoming old.”
Perhaps as a reflex reaction, I blurted out in a horribly sarcastic tone: “becoming?”
Oh man, as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I thought “oh shit!“ Here I am, getting a job-performance review, and I insult my manager.
I let out a bit of nervous laughter. Luckily, he laughed (just a little bit) as well making me feel less of an idiot.
One day. One day…
