Over the past couple weeks things have been hectic but mellow, for those who do not know this already I am a Division II Basketball player so my life and work schedule can be pretty sporadic which is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact it is a GLAMOROUS life style that I live. I work for a company that allows me to be like one of the brokers here where that I won't always been in the office but my work gets done with exceptional detail and in a timely manner, except for a couple of weeks ago...
A couple of weeks ago I was in charge of putting together the monthly and year-to-date numbers for the start of the 2012 year. Well basically I was the guinea pig to their test because it was the first time someone that wasn't the sales manager did the number. I was given a list of instruction on how to put it together; they gave me the basic tools and where I could find all my information. Well basically to me it was a test, a simple test on how well you can read and follow directions. Well, if anybody really knows me then, me not so good reader sometime. And so reading this packet which I thought would be a simple task in fact turned out not so easy, weird right? So after I had completed it and thought I reviewed it, it was presented to all the brokers where I then saw my numerous amounts of mistakes. Though everybody got a good laugh at some of the mistakes, this was not an ego boost for me but kinda of an embarrassment . Luckily I am not the type to let this tarnish my ability and confidence. In fact afterwards I got some praise, and jokes, from the other brokers and my bosses. I did learn that afterwards that I was the guinea pig for the project so I wasn't that upset; Still I learned that if you think you reviewed it, review it again and again and again.
