It is not time to Clock Out!

When I worked in a secular job I had the tendency of leaving before my shift was over. My shift was from 12-6 pm but I was under the impression that I could leave at 5:30 or 5:45 pm. Which was short of my assigned time to leave. One day my manager caught wind of what I was doing and …
