So i recently started a new job as a waitress in a restaurant which i love, however i feel like i have already ruined it as on my first day the manager asked was i here on the Monday for training, i panicked and said yes and followed on with that lie, i feel extremely guilty. He is paying me for coming in when i didnt and im now too deep in the lie to confess to him that i didnt work that day. I described to him what i had done during training and Im scared that he will ask the trainee if i was there before paying me as he already had suspicions when asked what i had been doing. This is causing me deep anxiety to not go back to the job already, i feel stupid and panicked in the heat of the moment. Also i need to tell my manager that i am going on holiday next week for 19 days as it was never brought up in the interview, im concerned that i have completely mucked up this job from the beginning. advice On both of these topics would be very much appreciated
What should I do?

Believe it or not, I feel that going on holiday after starting a new job is worse than lying about the training. He might forgive you if you come clean about the training, say you didn't realize you were going to be paid for it, didn't intend to get paid for not being there, and you lied because you didn't want him to fire you. However, when there are hungry customers, and it's busy, and they need a waitress, he will not be so forgiving when you are not present because of being on holiday, and his restaurant customer service suffers as a result. I think it's best to start over with a new job, if at all possible. I think you'll do better next time.
