For the past couple weeks I have been assigned to work on a very critical performance analysis project at work. I spent many sleepless hours working on this analysis and creating the documentation. Wednesday, I was asked to send a separate document with the report for the network change that took place on Tuesday night. I thought the 35 page performance analysis document would have been enough but apparently they wanted me to create another document in hours that was specific to the network change that recently occurred.
I was told to hand in the documents before 7pm Wednesday night. So sitting in the office performing trace test, and looking at various data, I was able to complete the network change document at about 6:30pm. I sent the document off to all the necessary people. By the time I got home at 7:15pm, I received over ten emails from people complaining that I had ONE typo on something that was not even that important in the document. The report was forward to senior management and my manager was cc on the email trails. I was so upset and shock when I saw this. I stayed at work till 6:30pm, rushing to complete their request on time and this is the thank you I received. My name on everyone lips complaining about the one simple typo I had in the report. Man, I felt like screaming and crying when I saw all the emails going back and forth about my typo. Then one guy had the nerve to call me on my work phone telling me about the typo, like the email trails wasn’t enough to make anyone feel bad.
I have seen many co-workers sent out reports with grammar or typos in it and no one complained. But after working for the company for over a year without any mistakes in my analysis reports, I get picked on for one simple typo. It is almost like someone was waiting for me to mess up, so they can let the whole company know that I am not perfect. I don’t know what people think about me when I go to work each day and do my best to complete each assignment on time and with great quality. I am not a perfectionist but I like to make sure everything I do is done right.
So as I am sitting here typing this entry I still amazed at how people can try to nock me down every time I try to move forward. But I am glad that I have the Lord on my side. This morning I was able to re-send the revised version of the document out correcting the one typo. Although, the whole incident had my heart beating fast and I was not sure what to expect walking into work this morning. The Lord gave me a great level of peace and joy within. I know that my name was scattered over the company for the one mistake but the Lord still gave me that assurance that everything was going to be alright. I came in and apologized for the mistake and sent out the revised version, not paying attention to the stares or whispers.
The devil will always try different ways to attach a child of God. If he can’t get you one way he will try another. I know that it was the plan of the enemy and the Lord delivered me out of it triumphantly. Thank you JESUS! All glory and honor goes to the Lord.
The devil meant it for bad but the Lord turned it around to work in my favor. There were managers that never knew my technical abilities but from the email trails and the document being past around, they were able to read the document and applauded me for the great work I did.
The complete full performance analysis is not yet completed as of yet but pray for me that I will complete it soon and have no mistakes in the thirty-plus pages I have to write.
