I don't know about you, but when it's the weekend, work is OFF the table. I like to enjoy my weekends spending quality time with friends and family. I'm fortunate not to have a job where I have to be on call during the weekends, so when Friday evening hits, my laptop is closed and stowed away until Monday morning. That should've been the case for this OP too, but unfortunately, it wasn't. He was out on a Saturday night celebrating his friend's engagement when he got a call at 9 p.m. from his boss. Considering she was calling his personal phone, not his work phone, he assumed it was an emergency, so he answered. He was also drunk at this point, so all points of logic were out the window.
His boss needed help with a work-related task, to which he responded honestly. He was out with friends and was in no state to assist her. He probably didn't need to add that detail, but again, he's a few drinks into the night. Shortly after ending the call, his boss sends him an angry email saying they must meet Monday morning due to his unprofessionalism.
But don't get too upset yet because, surprisingly, this story has a happy ending. Keep reading to see what happens when the OP sets foot in the boss's office on Monday at 8 a.m.
