OKKKKK so im having a problem... i have had a root canal scheduled for about a month now.. but ive also been looking for a job... well my dentist just called me to remind me of my appointment on monday .... hours later i got a call about a job & accepted it to start on monday ... -_- stupid me... it slipped my mind .... NOW idk what to do . my job is supposed to be a receptionist.... & if i call & tell the manager what happened it will make me look so bad... im supposed to be handling their business & i cant even remember my own.. i will be working 9-5 & my dentist is not open after 5 .... : ( ughhhhhh

If you've been looking for work for a decent amount of time & now have the opportunity, I would
go out of my way to make a good impression. It won't look good if you can't show up to a first day of work.

Id call the office and see if they have a opening or cancellation where you're not working. Also a job provides income, so you will be able to get the procedure in the future.

Call your new manager and tell them you got called for the appointment after you accepted the job and ask if you can start afterwards. If they seem put out, reschedule the appointment. Good luck!

yeah i will call the dentist tomorrow & ask to be seen same day because i am having pain (when im really not) maybe they will take me more serious ... if i miss this appointment i dont think i will be able to be seen . UGH this frigging blows.

Take the job and reschedule to appointment. Jobs are hard to come by.
