Reddit I know I fucked up. I just started a new job last week. I trained all last week and have training this week. On Monday, I showed up to training In the morning, then we went on break for lunch, and I ended up dozing off. My dumbass didn’t set an alarm. You all know where this is going.

I wake up to work calling me asking where I am. I panicked and told them my son had a medical emergency at daycare and I had to pick him up. Now they want medical documentation. Of course I didn’t think about this when I said the lie.

Now I’m wondering if I just forge a doctors note, or come clean about what happened. Either way I’m fucked. If they catch me forging a note I’m definitely fired, and if I come clean I’m fired. Hell maybe I just shouldn’t even show up tomorrow lol. I just can’t believe I did something so stupid I’m literally a single mom I need a job. Reddit don’t be as dumb as me and learn from my mistake

TL;DR fell asleep and missed 3 hours of work on my second week of training. Lied about it now I’m in a pickle.
