Don't let yourself turn into one of those women that let this and that slide until you are in an even more impossible situation than you're already in. Not that bad can turn into a serious situation real quick. Once an abuser knows you won't take action, it is a slippery slope to more frequent and serious abuses. pack what you need to survive and get out of there. Go to a shelter, go to your parents, go anywhere but where you are.

Damn when I drink and smoke I just exist in the purest levels of hell praying to the porcelain god. No enlightenment for me other than I’m never doing that again haha

Im another that agrees with your boyfriend. Perhaps your being too picky for work. If he is working two jobs then he is probably tired of carrying the burden. Lots of places are hiring, just take a starting role and see where it leads

Good on you mate! It does take some courage to own your mistakes when you fuck up something at this magnitude, but it's the right thing to do. No matter what happens, 20 years down the road, you're going to feel a lot better that you did the right thing than you would knowing you fucked someone over for something they didn't do.

I would say you need Jesus but you would probably just want him to glass bottom boat you. This is most definitely the most desperate shit I've ever heard and it's disgusting. I'm proud of you. Embrace it. My only question is how can you have a shit fetish and knock this furball for stankin?

Think on the bright side… you have so many future cringe interactions ahead of you. You never know, many of them may be fond memories and even future partners. For now, enjoy the cringe and be good. Luv ya.

This is why i dont smoke. Even the little bit takes me to the depths of hell. I have tried several strands and no matter what the guy behind the counter tells me i still have the same effects. I had one person tell me i have my shit too figured out to even need it and that's why it's magic is reversed on me. Yeah, he smokes a lot. Lol but he made a good point.

From a purely logical stand point: no. But we don’t treat gender logically, which was more my point. I wasn’t equating summer to anything, but illustrating that OP’s audience had only heard the opposite of what he said. The important/relevant bit was inferring something about the opposite of what was actually said, as OP’s audience appears to have done.

It’s super weird that it’s fine to jump to this conclusion, that someone intended the contra positive of what they said, if a statement is about or includes a group of people, but not any other time

I wondered the same - the timestamps would have shown that the bad parts were made after the coworker was clocked out (making it unlikely the coworker actually did them). That could be verified against security footage/badge access records of the coworker leaving the facility. Then they look at who was clocked in that also works at that station to see who the real culprit was - especially given that it was an $84,000 mistake.

I do a similar job to what you do - troubleshooting and repairing electronics, and like you it has to be logged electronically. I too have forgotten to log into my work order logging station - on a number of occasions, and when there is a screw-up (and yes they invariably will happen) I have always fessed up. You get more respect for admitting to a mistake, then correcting it and learning from the experience than you ever will by letting a coworker take the fall for your screw-up.

The longer you go without fessing up the worse things will be for you when your boss does find out. I am surprised they didn't look at the date/time stamps for when the work was done - that should have shown that your coworker didn't make the mistake as she would have been clocked out and out of the building. I'm surprised your coworker didn't have the smarts to ask when the bad parts were made.

Just tell your boss that you just noticed the timestamps on the messed up parts/work and realized it was likely your mistake and not your coworkers and ask what you can do to make it right - because your bosses will eventually find out and whether or not you admitted to your mistake will shape thier opinion of whether or not they can trust you.
