I did something stupid at work now I’m so worried I’ll be fired
I was helping a customer and I went out the back and said to a colleague “I’m getting all the idiots today” then proceeded to talk about a previous customer (not the one I was serving)
It’s quite a distance and the radio was on out the back (can’t be heard from the shop floor)
When I went back to customer she looked unhappy but I think she was generally unhappy as her child was messing around
I noticed the shop floor was deathly quiet
I’m driving myself crazy with worry that she heard and will complain about me
I’m 5 months into 6 months probation
I’ve convinced myself she heard, will complain and I’ll be fired my boss is very customer service focused
I’m such an idiot I always ruin things, I have high functioning autism (I haven’t told anyone at work or my boss) I tend to blurt out inappropriate things loudly
We were supposed to be going out tonight but I’ve cancelled as I’m sick with worry and holding back the tears
I keep checking my company’s twitter incase she tweets about it
I just can’t stop thinking worse case scenario
How can I stop worrying it’s done now and out of my control
Also I’m not back at work for a week now so I’m going to worry all week

Also I can’t tell DH I’ve messed up again so he just thinks I’m moody and I have no friends in rl to talk to

don't worry about it at all.
if it was something your boss would talk to you yesterday.
it must be something else that happened when you were out.
don't worry about the things that are out of your control.
enjoy your life and your night out. forget about it. move on.

I get why you're worrying as I'm a chronic work worrier too but I imagine her expression was purely because she'd had to wait for whatever reason and was trying to pacify a child. Or she had a headache or for some other reason we couldn't begin to guess.

Put it down to experience and resolve to try not to say those kinds of things on the premises. (We've all done it, I'm sure though.)

Don't let it spoil your week off!

I agree. This would have already been raised by someone if it was a problem. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Yeah she didn’t say anything at the time or ask to speak to the manager, but I’m worried she will write in and complain
My minds on overdrive about it
I’ve been and bought a big chocolate bar and I’ve got some nytols for later as last night I woke up at 4am panicking
Does anyone have any good distraction ideas?
