Little Mishap at Work

I don't know why I did it, but I couldn’t help myself. My boss had given me a long list of tasks to complete before the end of my shift and somehow I managed to find an excuse not to finish them all. Maybe I was tired or maybe I just felt rebellious in that moment, but there I was, standing in the break room with a snack from the front counter when I knew it wasn’t allowed. It’s funny how such a small thing can make you feel so guilty afterwards. I know these little acts of defiance are more about my feelings than they are about what actually happened, but still, it’s been weighing on me ever since. The weird part is, even though it's just one silly moment, it feels like a big deal. It’s as if this small act of disobedience means something much deeper, something I can’t quite put my finger on.
