Well, my boss rang me last night to say that a $100 note had gone missing out of the till, and he suspected me of taking it. I think the only reason he's told me to come in this morning and go through the transactions with him is that I've been working in the newsagent for a year now- the last girl who stole had only been working two weeks, so she was fired on the spot.
I got very upset last night after he rang off, and now I'm dead scared of going into work. I don't want to get fired for something I didn't do. And, when you think about it, the idea that I would be stupid enough to nick a $100 note is... well, just that. Stupid. I mean, apart from the fact that stealing is completely against my moral code, my boss counts every last bit of money about an hour after I leave in the afternoon, so if I take so much as five cents, there's no chance of me getting away with it. Only one girl works in the shop at a time, so it's not like I have a younger co-worker I could blame if money disappeared. I depend on this job for my income, I'm not about to throw it away for a hundred bucks, especially this close to semester, when I'll be so caught up in my work I won't have the time to search for a new job... especially since my timetable this semester is absolutely diabolical, so I really only have one free day to work, which doesn't exactly thrill prospective employers.
But I still feel so scared of going in this morning, because he'll probably raise his voice, and the sound of a man shouting is pretty much guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. And since if he shouts he'll be shouting at me, it's quite likely I'm going to burst into tears, making myself look very very guilty.
