I once printed a couple resumes at work, got sidetracked, and totally forgot to grab them right away.
By the time I ran back, someone was already at the printer HOLDING them, looked at me like, Oh, you’re job hunting?

I wanted the ground to swallow me. Never hit “cancel print” so fast in my life 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this?

I haven't printed out resumes in over a decade. Where are you dropping the resumes off to? Isn't every application online these days?

Haha yeah, sometimes you’re just prepping for a job interview and need that paper in front of you so you actually remember what you wrote!

That happened to me once too, but in my case, I was working on my resume during work hours. Someone saw it on my screen and asked me about it right then. I was definitely startled, it’s not a moment you forget easily!

Oof, that’s awkward! Having someone catch you mid-resume edit at work is definitely not fun.

Oops! Well, hopefully you’ve found an ally. Seems like everyone is looking for a job where I work. Just need one person to break the ice, and everyone starts talking about it.

OMG. I have never done that but I wouldn't know what to do or what to say. I probably would have just taken my resumes and walked the other way.

Happened to me once, and the awkward silence felt like it lasted a lifetime. I swear printers have a sixth sense for embarrassing timing.

My supervisor gave me 8hours of AWOL because I couldn't show up one day because I was under anxiety. I have gave him letters from psychiatrist,psychologist that I'm passing through this. He didn't care and gave me an AWOL. I want to leave my job because my department is very toxic but I don't want to leave having that on my records.
If I move to another job later on (private or federal) this 8 hours of AWOL will show up?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
