Shortly after I wrote the original post, I contact my boss's wife to deliver a few messages. During the conversation, she assured me that I am most certainly not fired, and even went so far as to suggest that the side view mirrors be changed to compensate for the blind spot that the car was obviously in.
Aside from the fact I have been in one-too-many fender benders (which fortunately they all have been), I have been as exceptional employee, according to them. I have the second biggest workload, I often work 6+ days a week, and am usually finished before most other employees, even those with a less heavy work load than I.
Even though, my job security is assured (for the next eight months at least, but thats another story), my mental/emotional health is not. Before this accident even happened, I felt extremely stressed out and overworked. Now I am all of that times two, plus my confidence and self-image, for the moment, is now tanked. |
