Vacation Day 4 - Mistakes were made

 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?!
