Something great happened! And something not-great happened!
Something great happened! And something not-great happened!
First, the great
Yesterday evening was the big annual fundraising dinner for an organization I volunteer with. We provide business clothing to low-income women who need professional clothing. During the dinner, the executive director took the stage and she announced the two volunteers of the year. I was one of them! I was floored. A lot of my coworkers were in the audience so that made it even more special. I must say I am surprised that I won it...there are plenty of people who volunteer as much as or more than I do. I got a cool trophy.
Now, the not-great
My performance at work lately has sucked. That’s a bit harsh, but I haven’t been doing well at work. I’ve turned in reports with errors on them. I have been slap-dashing it lately; been so intent on getting things done that I’m not focused enough on getting them right. I’m disappointed in myself and worried about my next performance review. I guess I need to take this as time to turn it around, go more slowly and thoroughly, and get more into the details. It’s never too late to start over and improve.

as for work stuff.... are you burned out? maybe you need to take a couple days off and rest and regroup? or is it that you just have so much to do that you don't have time to make sure all the details are correct? maybe have a talk with dave about it? i know you said when he got back from his sabbatical that some of his stuff was permanently transitioned to you, which means you might have more on your plate than you can handle. if you're swamped and you've finished a report, could you ask someone to just take a look at it before you turn it in and make sure you didn't miss anything?
