Some days I really hate my job

logans_girl2001I know it's been forever and a day since I posted here, but I don't feel comfortable making this post over on my TikTok because my coworkers can see it, not that it's anything bad, and one of them already knows about it. But I still don't want to post about work on my TikTok.
I was on vacation 10/24-10/28 and had assigned my sites to my coworkers. Now, we have a rule that any issues that happen during that week are the original poster's responsibility. I'm okay with that because the issue is usually that a day was double-keyed or inventory readings (I work for a gasoline distribution company) were entered wrong. Things that are easy to find out and fix even if you didn't key it.
But today, my supervisor and I had the following conversation in TEAMs:
By this point, I was on the phone with my mother, feeling my blood pressure climbing. She suggested I ask the coworker who had keyed that site, thinking that maybe that's what my supervisor wanted me to do. But my supervisor could have done that when I told her who I had assigned that site to. Or she could have just looked at the list I sent her before I left on vacation. She has to know there's no way I'd know the answer or would even be able to find the answer.
My supervisor was showing as busy and left me on unread for a long time. I decided to court a coaching with the following message.
My coworker then said that she kept my list separate from hers (I guess to avoid this?) and that she would look to see if she had used one on two different sites. But she didn't do that. She said she'd keep looking into it, and when I told my supervisor this, she thanked me and said she'd look into it.
What pissed me off so much about this is that she was telling me that it's fully my responsibility to fix an issue that I cannot possibly fix since I have no way to find out which code was used for those three days.

(supervisor):
PC [number]...
missing sales from the 25th through the 27th
do you know what A/R you booked those to?
Me:
I was on vacation for those days. You'll have to ask [redacted]
(supervisor):
we don't do that
we don't shove our work on someone else
you know the rules
Me:
I cannot answer the question you asked me because I didn't key them. I have no idea which AR they were keyed to, [redacted] would know that
(supervisor):
still wrong answer ma'am
Me:
How am I supposed to tell you which AR they were keyed to when I wasn't the one who keyed them?
(supervisor):
we will talk about this another time...
your lack of willingness to help is the issue not that you didn't know the answer...
Me:
I am not saying I'm unwilling to help

Me:
[redacted] says she used the one on the spreadsheet

Me:
I'm not sure what you expect me to do here, (supervisor). I have asked [redacted] which AR she might have keyed it to. She says she doesn't know. I have done all I can think of to resolve this issue
My coworker then said that she kept my list separate from hers (I guess to avoid this?) and that she would look to see if she had used one on two different sites. But she didn't do that.
