While 10 miles in of my 25-mile-long commute, my transmission gave out. I informed my manager and the company owner (Small company, call-outs do make a difference) about the cost and time it would take to Uber there and they were very supportive.
So why, on my walk from the mechanics', did I think to myself, “Wow, good job RetrospectGold. You wanted to get out of work so bad you trashed your car, and you let your company down. You piece of shit.” ?
