Bit of a disappointing work today. On Friday I messed up a spreadsheet by simply copying and pasting things wrong. However, I didn’t pick up on it until late today, when I had already done a heap of work on it (and spent the whole time wondering why it was throwing so many errors). I really felt like I dropped a notch in my manager’s eyes, as I had to bring them in to work with me to fix the sheet, not to mention other people who I showed the report to who picked up on the same thing. Ever since my interview for this role, i’ve been approached by people in different departments saying ‘they’ve heard a lot of good things about me’ - apparently someone on the panel has spread word that I’m some fantastic contributor to the role, and now I feel like that reputation has been tarnished because I couldn’t figure out a very simple mistake. Sigh. Wish I could just undo the last few days.
