They could be processing my Termination at any second!

Ok so basically I CANNOT Understand HOW I am such a complete FUCKUP when it comes to work these days.

SERIOUSLY. When I worked at the Cineplex I was never late - bearing in mind I worked late shifts. I should probably apply at metrotown.. but besides that I mean like since I started at Starbucks, I've just plain sucked at it. I love working there though, and like I keep being late and I never have a good reason. The stupid thing is, getting up early isn't hard for me, so I have no idea what the problem is. I've decided that it's because I haven't worked in ages because when I first started at McDonalds I was late a bit and that was my first job...
But like yea, I've been late for stupid reasons since day one, like the first time I was late was because my alarm didn't go, the second time, I slept through the alarm the third time was because my clock was off/wrong, the forth time was because I just moved here and I missed the last night bus that would have taken me to work in the morning, and today, well last night - I could *not* sleep. I tried. for HOURS. I even popped some cold medicine, and nothing would put me to sleep. So I was bored of the computer so I watched some TV because I had a while to go before I had to get up and my alarm was still set anyways or so I thought, so I guess watching tv, I had fallen asleep somehow -like I tried to be asleep by 9 last night!! I got caught up on MSN and went to bed at 10 but I just couldn't sleep at ALL. So like of course when I wake up and after having my boss tell me that if I'm late one more time, and it can't help that its the next shift after I was late to begin with, I am understandably emotional. I am writing an email now and I'm not sure if I should send it for fear of sounding like a suck up, so feedback would be awesome:

Corrine, I am writing an email because I am in a very emotional state and I think clearer when I write. I was late again today. I wish I could give you a good reason why, but I honestly cannot. Last night I tried from 9 am to about 2 am to try to fall asleep, I had even administered sleeping pills but nothing would work. I gave up around 2 am and, as I was bored, watched TV.
It was right around 5:00 when I was supposed to get up after sleeping to get ready for work that I fell asleep - but the thing is, not only was I not tired, but I didn't forsee myself falling asleep at all. The fact is crueller even more to me that I feel asleep even though I was not tired.
I don't have very good reasons for why I am late and you must understand that this tortures me because I am normally a very professional individual. The only thing I can think of is that I have been out of the workforce for too long and am not used to the early shifts. This also confuses me because I have no trouble waking up early usually. I just can't explain myself, I can't justify my reasons for being late because there was a clear solution and way of not being late. When I worked at Cineplex I was often a half hour early - but there I had a place to wait, a staffroom and so on, even so theres no real excuse.
The fact of the matter is that I've never been fired before, I've always been good at what I do. It's strange because I find that I'm not that good at Starbucks, but I really enjoy working there. Usually I am not happy at work unless I am good at what I do because if I feel unaccomplished in any way my self esteem goes down, but it's like that with everyone I guess.
I am wondering if there is any way I could stay within the company and possibly just transfer or recieve later shifts. I completely understand if you have to fire me though because again like I've said, theres absolutely no excuse for me being late this often.
I did enjoy working for Starbucks and it makes me incredibly sad that I might never work there again, but I've accepted that as punishment for my inexscusable lateness.

 

awww maybe its fate way of telling you that you would be better being ur own boss :jester:

okay sorry for my clowning about

well have u writting the email yet - hope it went well

i don't really have any advice seeing as i have never been in that sort of situation before...but i guess u should be honest...but maybe try to keep it sweet and prefessional

well i probably think u don't really have musch to worry about seeing as u were forgiven for the times you were late before - maybe you might get lucky again

p.s i had a terrible night sleep yesterday too, i could not sleep and when i finally could i kept on waking up countless times - i really can't think why, i have been pretty much chilled and don't really have much to stress about.

well *goodluck*

 

Could sell the uranium? Very nice? It was great success...

 

Consider working a job outside of retail?

 

We are to young to put that much pressure on ourselves.
