[DePressMe]

In 3 hours I have to stand for my defense of my masters—probably one of the most stressful things I will do in my lifetime…and I have just had the worse possible crisis at work. I work with doctors so it is confidential, so I can’t go into detail….but, this is probably the worse thing that could happen to me. No, I am not blowing this out of proportion. I am very realistic in saying this will cause me a serious reprimand or possibly the loss of my job.

My supervisor got on me for not delegating work—so I delegated work—but I did not follow through and make sure it was done correctly. The person doing it had been doing it for 19 years—I trusted her. Well, she was just let go a few weeks ago and we are starting to discover a few things that are problems. I dropped the ball, I let a MAJOR piece of paperwork fall through the cracks. I have already been told, yes, this was my responsibility. The only thing I can do is wait to see if I have a job in the morning…or whenever, this is settled.

A while back there was a post that said, “when it rains, it pours” or something like that…might even have referred to a rainbow after the rain. I don’t remember. Right now, it is pouring for me and there is no rainbow in sight…maybe a tornado or two.

Hi DepressMe,

I'm sorry you are feeling like this



However, I feel confident if you try to put whatever happened out of your head, I'm sure you can pull off this in a few hours



I understand the confidentiality issue, but I would think as long as whatever happened didn't affect a patient's well-being, and only related to paperwork it can be fixed.

My professors used to tell us that a Coca Cola was helpful before giving a presentation.

Feel free to PM me if you like.

Let us know what happens.

Hugs,

EJ

It sounds so scary and I hope that you are able to find some peace amongst the turmoil you are feeling.

Sending you soothing and kind thoughts.

Thanks everybody for the wonderfuler support! Yah! I passed my masters exam! Wow--that was scary...really truly, it was tough, but I did it!

As for work...I will let the chips fall where they will--nothing I can do about it now. Whatever happens, happens. I'll just hope for the best.

Right now, I am just going to focus on writing a paper--thats my next task. No rest, until June 1.

thanks everybody.

This is a major achievement in your life, and I hope you will give yourself a little time to savor the sweetness. Some times with friends, a special meal, an afternoon in the park. We all deserve rewards.
