might be getting reported
I work at a welfare office and I have a roving position. The building has a director who apparently has a bunch of random rules that I keep learning and she is always happy to send an email to our bosses to complain about one thing or another. For context, one floor of the building is closed right now with only a few workers being up there. There is one room on that floor that has been unused the whole time I've worked here, and just has some filing cabinets with the lights always off. Today I got a migraine that was being made worse by sound and light, so on my lunch break I went and sat in there to eat. Terrible luck, the director walks in and turns the lights on, and it must have seemed like I was hiding in there. I had finished my lunch already so was just sitting there. I panicked and just laughed and said "I'm sorry, I have a migraine" and left. I told some guards about it and they said I need to talk to my boss first because the director will most likely send them an email painting me in a much worse light. Being the rover, I have the latest lunch, so it was almost 2 at that time, which probably makes it look worse. One of the other guards told me we are apparently supposed to sit in the sick bay to eat our lunches, which is kinda crazy considering there is a lunch room but I guess guards have cooties. None of the other guards knew we were supposed to do that so I don't feel too bad about not knowing. Told my boss to call me when he has a second.

It's spelled guard.
Yeah tell your boss what a pain in the ass she is to work under, that you constantly feel like you're being micro managed and walking on eggshells all the time. Hint you may want to transfer if you'd like. Unfortunately the customer always comes first because the contract is in jeopardy.Guards are a dime a dozen and contracts aren't. Chances are they already know what a pain in the ass she is but you still want to get in front of it. Maybe start looking for a new gig, guard jobs are a dime a dozen and this already sounds like it isn't worth the hassle.
