I am sooooo embarrassed RN
So this literally just happened and I’m posting it from the office while the damage is still fresh.
I had already finished all my work for the day, so like any responsible employee, I was casually browsing Reddit. I even logged in through an incognito tab like a true professional. As a backup plan, I had a Word document open in the background so if anyone showed up, I could instantly switch to a very productive employee mode.
Anyway, I’m halfway through reading a post when suddenly my boss walks over to talk to the coworker sitting right next to me.
I panicked and immediately try to switch to the Word file but the absolute potato PC the office gave me decides this is the perfect moment to freeze. Completely. Dead.
Now I’m frantically clicking like I’m trying to launch a rocket. Meanwhile my boss casually turns his head and sees that I’m very clearly on Reddit.
The worst part? I didn’t even realize he was looking yet. So from his perspective I’m just aggressively spam clicking my screen like a man fighting for his life.
After a few seconds I just accepted my fate. I stoped clicking and mentally started updating my resume.
And right at that momen the Word file finally opens.
My boss didn't utter a word and just stared at me for a sec before leaving
I have never felt more unemployed in my life.😭😭😭
