Well excuse me for trying!

I am a bit frustrated. I went way out of my way Friday to find out how to complete a project going on here at work. I didn't have to do what I did. It really was up to others to complete it but I wasn't busy at all so I decided to help.

I was very clear on my instructions and was sure to put them in email format so as to have a paper trail in case there were any discrepancies. I completed my part and thought all was well. UNTIL THIS MORNING!!

I received a phone call telling me that part of what I did and how I handled it was not correct. He even said that he told me not to send what I did in the way I did. But, I still have the email indicating what I am supposed to do and I did it exactly that way. I won't argue with him or try to tell him that he is wrong because of reasons that I will keep to myself. After all he is the customer and I am supposed to do what he needs done. It just pisses me off when I try to help when noone else does and then get blamed for something that I was told to do in the first place!

I guess this is more of a pride thing than anything else. I take my work very seriously. I do not want to make any mistakes, although being human that is bound to happen at one time or another. But THIS I was told to do.

Well, since I have vented enough I guess I feel better.

It still sucks though.

Kinda makes you wonder how Jesus felt as they were nailing him to the cross.
Or, as Bugs Bunny would say, "I knew I shouldn't have taken that left turn at Albuquerque."
