Time to pick it up

I walked into work and there was an eerie feeling surrounding me. On the walk down I had been thinking about what to do if I lost this job and I felt terrible.
I started to think of my situation before I got this job and how horrible it was on the dole. This job was the first place I had been to in 8 years where I felt comfortable and I had just chucked it away.
When I got into work I was immediately asked to go into the boardroom and my managers talked me through what had happened. The people at the top of the company had found out and the situation was very severe.
“Normally this would be an instant dismissal, but because we know your character and the bosses have looked through all your notes etc to build up sense of who you are…you’ve got away with it.”
Wow that was close one. Apparently the circle of people who had found out, who I knew, had pulled a lot of strings to save me from getting sacked. I was relieved and it was very nice to know people would do that for me.
It was at that point that I reiterated “I’m so glad not to be fired.”
That workplace is like a rock for me. The atmosphere created by the people is something I cherish.
I’ve got to try and build from this and I need to start trying harder at work.
