I went on a day trip yesterday and met some people during the trip. So we took the train home together. One of ladies didn't buy round trip tickets and she would have to pay on the train, which is about $20US. I work for the train company, so I don't have to pay and my coworkers have told me I could take my friends on the train and they don't have to pay for their tickets... Long story short I knew through conversations that she was having some difficulties with her financial situation. So when the conductor was about to charge her, I stopped the conductor and asked 'Can I use my ID for her tickets so she doesn't have to pay?' The conductor was pissed off right away and told me how I put her(the conductor) in a bad situation. I apologized. The conductor asked me:"do you realize how wrong you're?" I said:"Yes. I am so sorry." Then the conductor asked me what department I work and she took a look at my ID. She didn't charge the lady her ticket. However, I realized later on that the conductor could report me to the my department, since one of my coworkers has been reported before because he violated some rule on the train. Now I am really worried because I am still on probation. I don't want to get into trouble for someone I barely know. And I blame myself how stupid I was! I asked iching 'Will the conductor report me to my department?' I got Hex 56.1.4 change to Hex22. It said something about "My heart is not pleased' and " chopping up his position and seizing calamities". It sounds terrible! Could someone help with more in depth analysis. I'd appreciate it!

I don't think you have anything to really worry about.

I don't know what translation you're looking at, but "chopping up his position and seizing calamities" is not the usual translation. This line speaks more to the discontent you feel in your heart rather than any action that might be taken against you. One reason I don't think any action will be taken against you is that the second hexagram is 22, meaning insubstantial matters in general.

Thank you Ginnie!!! That is the exact translation I was looking for. I wasn't sure those two lines were talking about me or talking about actions that will be taking against me or talking about the conductor's feelings.

The WikiWing translates line 56.4 like this:

'Wanderer in a shelter,
Gains property and an axe.
My heart is not glad.'

You have this job, and the job has these benefits, of which you took advantage, and yet your heart is troubled.
