Woke up late for work today 3rd time this year. Again. Argh, I've been consecutively late for work for weeks le.

Though it makes me wonder, for this 3 days, i really wanted to change, and to wake up on time. Just that I genuinely unintentionally wake up late due to circumstances. Should I still be punished likewise?

My phone alarm resets when my phone is off, or sorts so I sometimes dun realize it's not set right
First day - didn't know alarm reseted itself
Second day - snooze setting were reset too, to 1 time snooze at middle volume.
Third day - realize I've been swiping the wrong direction (left = snooze, right = off)
And now I wonder if I'll be on time tomorrow.

Mistakes be mistakes, I know I'm responsible for my mistake, but should one who have no intention to commit a wrong be punished? Punishment and consequences are different matters. One is an extra penalty meted out, other is an inevitable chain reaction that follows, though from certain perspectives, set penalties fall under expected consequences.

I'm learning to fix small yet important details, though slowly. But we all take different paces right? Some a longer journey than others. At the end of the day, if results are the only thing that matters, then whatever we do wouldn't be important. But the process is just as important, it's what makes us get there.

Lol. actually I dun have a clue what I'm talking about. I just think we should all give more grace to each other.

I didn't get punish by the way. Just walked into office with a sheepish guilty smile...
