Oh, I am so happy. My stomach has been in knots the past 2 days.
I received a stern warning from HR - I'm outta there if anything like what happened happens again. No worries, believe me it won't!!!!
Actually this whole episode has been a blessing in disguise. I've come to realize that I spend entirely too much time fantasizing about my female coworkers, and something like this was bound to happen. Lesson learned, big time.
Given my very fragile self-esteem, getting fired could have been a knockout punch that I couldn't recover from.
Thank you for your support through this difficult time!! Y'all are great!
