I'm hella awkward. I've been writing a NSFW fan fiction (nothing sexual just lots of swearing) in my spare time and somehow it got mixed in with my work folder. So today one of my managers asked me to give her the papers for an applicant so I handed her the folder and she was shuffling through she stopped and kind of paused a long time. Then I realized she was reading my fix!! So I awkwardly was like Oh sorry that's mine, and she handed it back to me without commenting. But just the vibe it was obvious she was like WTF is this. Neither of us addressed it just went back to talking about work. I'm so upset, I feel humiliated and worried she thinks that I'm disorganized and WEIRD :,( She has always been nice to me too :,( How do I recover from this? If you were my manager, what would be going through your head after that?

I would have a little chuckle and then forget about it.
If she was worried then she would have said something right then.
ReplyThank you so much for responding. I feel so embarrassed I don't want her to think I'm like creepy or something.But your words definitively have made me feel better I really appreciate you taking the time to read/respond, bc I been up all night stressed about this.
ReplyI am sorry you did not get rest.
Even if she did get a peek into your mind or wonder about what she saw...so what!
You are you!
It is okay to be you and if someone does not understand or judges it then that is their issue.
Also have you thought that just maybe she found it interesting? We always assume people are going to think the worst and I bet we are wrong most of the time. ☺
ReplyAww! Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to hear. I've been so upset and embarrassed I haven't even been able to look at the fic since then which really sucked because I thought it was going well and actually wanted to finish it. Thinking maybe she could have found it interesting makes me feel a lot better, like I can actually work on it again (albeit more responsibly now). I feel so much better now like I can actually face her on Monday. Thank you so much :)
ReplyUmm.. ya... don't worry about it.. it's not like you can get fired or something.. 😐😐😐
ReplyThanks so much for responding. I'm not worried about getting fired so much as just the general awkwardness next time I see her. I feel like my manager got a very intimate peak inside my mind and I'm just embarrassed and feel weird and violated and I don't want her to wonder in the back of her head every time she sees me What was that about? And just have her silently feeling weirded out or not at ease with me. It's not the first time I've been socially awkward around her either this time was just the worst. Ugh. Anyway though thank you for your reassuring words
ReplyDont stress over it, honestly it may be awkward at first but they'll most likely forget about it!
ReplyThank you for responding, it made me feel better
