What potentially could be disastrous, turns out to be rather good.
Actually I take that back, it's not that good. Allow me to explain. Today work as usual, nothing happen. Suddenly my boss see me rather free so she gave me an assignment to do. It was a chore, a new batch of companies to be updated, 1267 of them. So after finishing it, I felt a bit weird, the records only showed 1000 companies while I was told that I would be doing 1267 of them. Brushing it off as my boss calculation/memory problem, I handed her the assignment feeling rather pleased for my timely submission. I should have known better; turns out that the 1000 companies was the earlier batch that I've done, no wonder the names were so blatantly familiar! So she told me kindly that I've done the wrong batch and I have to re-do and I was feeling not that happy now. You know, staring at a spreadsheet with thousand of cells and you keep scrolling down typing 'N' on the same column, I somehow keep seeing it as Zzzzzzz. Now I have to go through all that Zzzzz again. So in the midst of correcting my blunder, my boss gave to me and told me that she compared my work with the work she done for that batch (since it was already done, I did double work lmao) and found out that 18 companies did not match. So I went through them and found out (to my hidden pleasure), that they actually did it wrongly and left out 18 which I pointed out. So my earlier work was not in vain after all hahahahahahaha! bad news is, got additional 18 companies to work on liao. Damn it.
