I love texting messages .. BUT.....

you should tell your officemate that you CAN'T punch in for her. i don't like texting if message is too long, i'd prefer calling. i use chikka text to send free messages and it's more comfortable since i type in the keyboard.

one thing tey charge to much to do text. another I really dont want ot learn how. and I wouldnt punch her in that would really get ya in trouble. really up to her to be there on time! Just tell her ya not gonna do it any more!

Personally I don't like texting. The text jargon and abreviations get on my nerves and the worst thing is people started to use it in regular e-mails and correspondence. But, this is not really the issue at hand. Obviously you are troubled because you are helping a fellow employee to perpetuate her dishonesty. You got some different advice from Mylot members and you should take the one that suits your own personality best. Myself I would turn my phone off as soon as I got to work and only turn it on in my coffee break to see if I had any urgent messages from family members. Tell her that. Secondly I would also tell her that the punch clock would be moved soon and that you would get in trouble if you continued to punch her in. Thirdly I would tell her that rumours are continuously circulating, one of them being that there is a security camera in the vicinity of the punch clock and you would not want both of you to get in trouble. Trust me you will feel relieved once you are no longer taken advantage of.

I say you should just tell her that you wont do it anymore. no offence to her, but you dont want to get into trouble, and she needs to be more prompt at getting to work so that she can punch herself in. . after all that's not a nice thing for a friend to do to another friend, she's putting you in a very bad position by askign you to go against the rules.

With jobs as hard as they are to get now, you'd be foolish to risk losing yours for the sake of someone else. I think you should text her and tell her that as much as you care about her as a friend and co-worker that you just cant risk your job by doing that anymore.

I also love texting. But i'm annoyed everytime I received texts from unknown numbers that my friends used to tease me or try my patience. Also i hate texters who are very persistent and likes to repeat sending one message. Sometimes, i off my cellphone when i am already pissed rather than replying them which is not necessary.

[i][b]I say, honesty is still the best solution to your problem. Confront your co-worker. Tell her you don't feel at ease with her texting you to punch her in for work. Tell her how you feel, you don't owe her anything anyway. Besides, you're just following rules and it's for the best of both of you (you'll both be in the hot water if you're found out). Honestly, there are so many times I turned my cellphone off just because I don't want to receive (and read) messages from a certain person. I have to turn the CP off because the next thing the person will do without a reply from me is call me. I hate that even more. [/b][/i]

I love to text no matter what. haha im addicted to it.

Giving in to her request once is enough, otherwise you'll be tolerating her going to work late. Am expecting text messages for our manning, leafletting or assemblies from our sales office, what I don't like in texting if they would instruct me to go on tenting or manning a site where am not scheduled to do for the reason that the assigned or scheduled one didn't show up.

I have to type all my letters. I just hate that shorthand stuff! It's too much like cheating. I'm like you, I don't like to argue or get people in trouble. But she doesn't seem to have a problem with getting you in trouble. It sounds like she's a user. If you're caught doing that, you will be fired. She's not worth it. If you have a hard time arguing, just keep saying no. Don't come up with reasons, just say no and walk away. Or turn your phone off, like the others told you. That works too. If she can text you to clock her in, she can call work to tell them she's going to be late. She's their problem, not yours.

i also love text msging but i feel so lazy in typing this msg because i hate this typing so i feel lazyness

I dont like texting that much. My cousin texts 24/7 and its annoying with the alert buzzs. I hate receiving text where they just say like one word- "hey" and "whats up?" Nothing important ever comes out. And sometimes I forget to turn my phone off and someone texts me at school. Oh my god bye bye phone, gotta pick up after school.

You're setting yourself up for trouble by clocking someone in at work. You're helping that other person STEAL from the company. There are ethical and legal issues here. It could be considered fraud. It sounds to me like this coworker considers you a pushover and you allow them to treat you that way. It sounds like you need to get some back bone and tell that person you're not going to do that for them anymore. EVER. I'm sure if there was ever a situation where you asked her to do the same for you, she'd give you a list of reasons why she shouldn't. You really need to make her deal with her own problems honestly. She's an adult, make her act like one.

Honesty is till the best policy.Tell her frankly that you hate doing it coz it is not good.What she wants is considered as cheating.Your other co-workers might notice it even if they dont tell you.So better not tolerate her by just texting you to punch her.She should come on time so you both will not be in trouble.

I would just tell her if you get caught you could lose your job over that so you can not do it anymore. If your unable to say that then tell her you herd that they installed a hidden camera facing the time clock so it's impossible for you to punch anyone in but yourself.

I text simply because I loathe talking on the phone, so If I need to get a short message to someone I will text. You are risking your job by punching someone else in. Tell that co-worker that you know it's wrong and you do not feel right about it and you are scared your going to get caught, what if another employee sees you doing it and reports you? In this economy, you'd hate to lose your job.

Well, that's just a terrible situation you're in. Those are just one of the few reasons why I hate texting but one of the most important reasons why I don't like it is because it makes youngsters become poor in spelling and vocabulary. Most of the time they are texting and shortening the words or substitute words very ridiculously spelled for the right terms.

Hi there! This could be a little harsh to say but I think your friend is taking advantage of your being good. Though you are friends I don't think its a good idea to save your friend from getting in trouble when you yourself could get in trouble. The best thing to do is tell your friend that you can't do it anymore because it's bad and that your conscience is reminding you to stop it. He/she should try her/his best to be on time for work. If ever your friend gets mad at you, then she/he is not a true friend to you. Your friend must understand your reasons and be responsible to go to work on time. With regards to texting, I only text and ask favor if its really really important and that no one could get in trouble because of it. I don't text just for having a chat but I do get in touch with people I know every once in a while. Ciao!

Here's what I would do in your situation. I'd tell her that a supervisor caught you clocking her in and told you that if they caught you again you'd be fired. Then tell her that you will not do it again. Tell your co-worker to learn how to tell time and be more punctual

I will just tell her the truth. Let her know you can't keep punching her in because you is putting yourself in danger with losing your job over something like that. I wouldn't care if she get mad about it because I feel if everybody else can get the work on time why can't she. Its funny because I went through that at a job I had but she never text me, she call my phone before I even left the house and I just came right out and told her that I can not keep doing that because I do not want to lose my job over her. Back to the real question at hand, I do not mind texting but sometimes it is kind of nerve wrecking trying to type in words all the time.
