so I work alone on the night shift at a tech company. I am the

also I volunteered today to come in to my night shift 3 hours early to cover for another coworker

"had to take my girlfriend to her college course. I offered to stay but coworker said no just go."

Easy

This

how is telling the truth so complicated for some people

>>16899550
some insanely paranoid part of me is thinking he'll follow up and ask what time my gf's course was and then look up earliest times in which classes start at that college.

my shift ends at 4am and her class starts at 8, which technically means there was a physical possibility for me to stay there

fuck man maybe I need treatment for anxiety

they won't care enough to go into detail. They are probably halfway through the workday dealing with other shit now. And even if they do its not the end of a job for working your scheduled shift and leaving when told to leave.

hey thanks... you're right.
it's a shitshow of being swamped by calls during the day.

I was just being paranoid and needed some consolation I guess

you guys/gals are all right

I actually feel at ease

>>16899550
Wrong. Provide as little information as possible while still providing the correct truth. Girlfriend info is unnecessary and for many bosses would lead to "I don't give a fuck about your girlfriend, this is your job" thoughts.

well then what would you recommend? help me here

what about "I had a time-sensitive family obligation to attend to and I was given verbal approval from my coworker to leave when I offered to stay" ?
