Grrr... you know the report I dumbly ran on Sunday when I was supposed to be off. I goofed it!
I did test it before sending but I could've done better. If it were someone else, I would definitely be mentally finger pointing.
Here are all the things I could've done differently:
- Not done it at all since it wasn't my responsibility
- Worked smarter, not harder - by copying the previous template exactly as is instead of trying to customize it to make it "better"
- Tested it with just our team as brain was alerting me to until I was sure it was right (vs sending it to vendor)
- After the first couple results, I noticed the numbers looked a little low, but I was supposedly on "vacation" so didn't look into it further...so why did I bother checking if I wasn't going to act?
- I knew the metric my boss was most interested in so I should've made sure that was right!
This is why I'd wanted to take time off- these little mistakes because I'm juggling too much. Super FAIL. Ugh.
Vacation Day 4 is completely out the door now. Groan.
How do I return to the quality of work I'm used to -where it would take me 8 hours to get a report absolutely perfect?!
