So, to be absolutely honest right at the beginning: I really screwed up.
I've been working for a pretty nice company for the last 8 months and their times are as flexible as it gets. So I could either work at the office or work from home, which I did a couple of times. I had co-workers AND my boss as well telling "it's not so bad if you slack off the odd hour or two", so I didn't always take it seriously when working at home as there's a lot of things distracting me etc pp. So the last 2 weeks however I almost ONLY worked from home as I'm moving out of my flat and had to prepare looooads of things and so on. So I made a great plan for the last 2 weeks for work and didn't really achieve much in the end. I forgot to change the times on the sheet where we have to put our working times, so it looked like I've been working a lot. So today when I went to the office again my boss told me as I didn't change it he would have to charge me with financial fraud (even after repeatedly telling I would change the last 2 weeks as I haven't had the time he didn't believe me, which is understandable in a way, as it's really reeeeally stupid) - now I'm sort of f-ed. He said he would go through all the hours I have done the past 8 months and if he'd only find one other incident (ha ha, which is there obviously as I thought they don't take it that seriously) he'd kick me and charge me.
Well, the whole situation is of course my stupid fault and I cannot and will not talk myself out of it. I have, however, been thinking about writing my boss a mail (he said "if you have anything more to say, write me a mail til next Wednesday") as I thought he might just kick me and want the money back that I "stole" but not charge me with anything... do you think that's a good idea? Should I write him the true (my) version of the story or just simply give in and say it's all my fault? I really don't want to bother with court and rebel against it, I just want the most peaceful solution there is that doesn't get me charged... that would be really really really bloody awful...
Glad for any comment and sorry for having to share this STUPID thing with ya. I really regret this already, can't believe I got into such big trouble...
