TIFU by sounding like a criminal to my new jobs work group chat

r/

TIFU as I’m responding to a request for availability from the owner/boss. It’s a small coffee shop, im only the 5th person that works there, including the owner. talking about schedules for the upcoming week and i responded saying i won’t be available x day because “I’ll be at court.”

i just have jury duty.

This is only after my first training shift, before even my second training!!

Its after midnight now, i only realized how it sounded hours after i sent it; tired brain from pulling a double shift today at my different job. instead of following up immediately i scheduled a text for the morning that specifies its actually just jury duty lol. a note at the end also saying “i didn’t realize how that sounded until i read it back” which is true. It’s a super casual environment, the interview questions were like “what’s your pick for the worst smell?” i don’t think it’ll be a big deal, just embarrassing.
edit: typo

TL;DR: it’s just jury duty, I’m not a felon lmao
