Well I sure looked like a big idiot at work today. I can't remember the last time I felt so embarrassed. I made not one or two, but about 4 or 5 mistakes on a project and it got ripped apart by network engineering as it should have been. Not sure how I messed up so badly, but I can pinpoint the moment when I told my boss I was overwhelmed right before he dropped this project on me but then said he'd come out and give me a hand to get it done. Well he came out that day and didn't do a single thing to help me, I struggled on my own and thought i completed it correctly. But today things weren't working and when network engineering investigated they found a lot of my mistakes, which I owned up to, and all is fine, no repercussions, this was just testing work on new equipment so there's no real impact here just a real big hit to my reputation I guess of doing fantastic work.
Anyway, as if today couldn't get any worse, it's raining so bad here and I'm supposed to go to the Giants game tonight, this is going to be miserable and I fully expect the Giants to get their ass handed to them as well to end this crappy day. Luckily there will be lots of booze and I can really use a drink.
