I’ve been having a rough week at work. Yesterday I pointed out to my boss that, through no fault of mine, there was a massive flaw in the computer-generated project I was working on. She forwarded the info to her boss, and his reply was that we’re probably going to have to dump what’s been done so far and start again fresh. Ugh.
Funny thing is, they reacted like, “Oh, no! Suddenly the computer if malfunctioning!” But it might have been working that way for a while, only nobody else bothered to look into it. And in situations like this, I’m never quite sure if I’m the good guy or the bad guy. I mean, I hate being the nit-picker. And sometimes I think that maybe things would be better for everyone if I just quietly did my work without worrying too much about doing it right. Other people do that, and they get away with it. But not me. I keep finding problems and making more work for everyone, myself included, because I don’t know how not to.
