My boss cannot conceive. She tried for years with IVF. Now she is in her mid 40s and has told me she accepts she wont be a mom. Adoption is not an option either (it is a long story.) When I got hired, I just got pregnant. She was supportive and sweet. Now when she asks me what I did for the weekend, I feel guilty talking about taking my daughter to the park or the beach. She is a sweet woman and I knows she hurts from this. She makes jokes like "well I dont know because i'm barren." I never know how to react.

I took a mental health day today, and don't feel the least bit guilty! :-)

I take Kleenex home from work. When I see a loose roll of toilet paper I take that too. I'm completely guilty of stealing office supplies, but when I realize I've taken home too many pens by accident, I bring them back in a plastic baggy, and put them in the office pool. At least I don't keep the stuff I can't actually use?

Today is a great day. The evil bitch in HR who was making everyone's life hell got fired! We caught her gossiping about someone's wage garnishment and that was the last straw. Part of me feels guilty for taking joy in this but work will be so much more pleasant now. :D

I got promoted on Friday to ast. manager at the restaurant where I work. My promotion won't be "announced" till Monday so I worked like normal this weekend but I'm actually scared of going to work tomorrow. I'm one of the youngest people there though I've worked there 3 years. But again there are people who are older & who have worked there longer who aren't going to take it well that I got promoted. I worked my ass off though & really needed the raise to pay tuition but I don't know why the heck I'm feeling guilty about it. Or why the heck I'm nervous about going to work tomorrow.

Couldn't take it anymore and the stress is getting to me. I just requested a half day tomorrow. I hate that I feel guilty with all this work to do.

I let a friend of mine know about a job that was being advertised. He is so gd excited and keen on the job. I set up a few phone calls between him and some people I know who do that job to give him info and a heads up. I will feel so guilty if he does not get the job, it's his total dream job. I've helped him as much as I can but I feel responsible now because I'm the one that told him about it.

My company instigated a world-wide quality system. Our office hates it/doesn’t want to learn it so my boss/all staff fobbed it off on me. They just complete forms when I tell them too. At first it was a lot of work for me to do so everyone had to do their own regular office work (ie. my secretarial duties) Now, with the exception of 1 month a year, there's little quality work & also little secretarial work! I don't feel guilty because the first 20yrs of my life, I had horrible jobs (12hr days, minimum wage, yelled at, injured) so I feel this is karmic payback :)

I really need a mental health day. I have plenty of time. So why do I feel guilty about taking off on Friday?

agh! it is the fucking height of selfishness when some bimbo at a grocery store decides to let her precious kid 'help' by pressing the buttons, or at the ATM machine. I am guilty of often being too polite! listen, stupid parents...we all have places to go and things to do! this is not a fucking daycare!!!
