TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU dozing off on zoom calls at my new job

Recently started a new job in February, my first 9-5 at a well known company. Fully remote and WFH. Trainings are done by my supervisor sharing her screen and walking through the different processes there are to know. It’s either me and her or me, another team member and her (our supervisor). Cameras are always off btw.

Anyways two weeks ago I fell asleep on one of the calls and woke up (to my self on mute) as they were finishing up, in time to say “have a good one” with everybody else. Didn’t hear anything about this incident

Fast forward to yesterday 3/19, it was me, the team member and supervisor going over something on teams and I started dozing off. I woke up to the call ended for me but the other two still on the call. I tried to call back in but they didn’t answer. My supervisor messaged me when they were done and said “hey checking in on ya…..we lost ya”. I made up an excuse of me having to reset my wifi, which was real dumb because I don’t know if she was the one that kicked me off the call cause of no response or god forbid I was snoring.

Today she went over some stuff with me and took a break to say she just wanted to talk to me and make sure I’m alright cause I’ve seemed a little out of it on a few of the trainings. She said she knows the information is tedious and it can be difficult to pay attention. She said she knows I’ve been feeling under the weather and wasn’t sure if it was my medicine or what not. (I am getting over cat scratch disease which can make you drowsy.)

I told her “the sickness (not medication) can cause that but it’s no excuse, some of the information is hard to pay attention to as well (prob shouldn’t have said that part) but I apologize and you have my full attention moving forward.” She said “good, alright glad we covered that.” She said she wanted to check in with me and said if it happens again she’d have to take the next step and “you know.. write.. yeah”. She didn’t fully say but I’m assuming write me up.

I don’t think anything happened inbetween these two different incidents. But I feel like an ass. I’ve always struggled with bad financial habits, being punctual and etc. it’s become a worry point in my 10 year relationship (I’m 25 yrs old).

My girl is done with worrying about my future and if I’ll be financially responsible and able to hold down a job or support our family. I didn’t tell her about this incident but I’ve struggled with money and jobs in the past and I believe she’d leave me if I lost the job due to this fuck up. Feel like shit/ an ass/ immature.

TL:DR- fell asleep on 1-2 zoom calls for a new wfh 9-5. After most recent, supervisor checked on me. Told supervisor it was wifi related. Today she brought it up and said my attention seems to be lacking and she wants to make sure I’m doing alright. I apologized and said she’s got my full attention moving forward.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
