My biggest fear became real today. I started volunteering with a small town ambulance service a few months ago. They average about 300 calls a year. I typically volunteer 60 hours a week and I have not ever missed a single shift.... that is until today. The calendar has 2 boxes for each day stacked vertically. I somehow put my name on the top box (day shift) when I meant to put it on the bottom. At about 5pm I double checked the schedule to make sure I was working tonight and then I panicked because I realized that I put my name on the day shift and I was 30 minutes away from the station all day... I called my manager immediately and apologized. I have always been a great employee and never been late or missed a shift. Luckily there were 2 other people on and they have not had any calls all weekend so they would've been fine but still.
Did I loose a reference and all respect from fellow volunteers and management? I can't stop beating myself up about this one. I feel absolutely awful.
