What would you have done, if you were me?

I'm a punctuality freak. I hate being late. That said, I'm also a sucker for rules and regulations. I believe they exist for a reason and you can't break the rules as and when you want to.

I don't believe the above excuses me for my actions below, but I don't really see the need to justify anything. I'm just curious what you would do, if you were in my position.

I start work at 8.30am every morning. Sure, sometimes I'm late, when the traffic is bad or when I overslept (which happens probably once a year). Even if I am late, it's never more than 15 minutes and I make up for it after work by staying a little longer.

My colleagues, are a different story. Some of them come in at 10.30am, sometimes 11.00am. Some of them start work earlier, like 7.30am but leaves at maybe 4.00pm, when she is supposed to leave at 5.00pm. The reason they can do this and get away with it, is because we are not seated on the same floor as our bosses. I've been unhappy about this for some time, as I feel that it is unfair to people like me who makes the effort to wake up early, come to work early. I just think that they are slackers.

So I told my boss about it. I don't feel like I did anything wrong. Although the girls (yes all girls) have found out and am ignoring me but I honestly don't really care. If you don't want the boss to know, then you shouldn't have done it in the first place. And how can you call it backstabbing? Am I supposed to lie for you and keep your secret for you when the bosses ask where you are early in the morning? I don't think so.

Anyway, what's done is done and these people aren't even getting the punishment they deserve because my boss doesn't really want to offend the entire group of girls. So that's that. Maybe I should start coming to work at 10.30am, since my boss obviously doesn't seem to mind.

Sigh, maybe Hubs is right, I do things without thinking, especially so when I am upset or angry...will need to practise to control my emotions. :(
