All for one, and one for nothing
I had been putting my nose to the grind stone for the past few business days. I completed a big part of it on Monday and had been pretty proud of what I had achieved. My coworker saw the final results today and was impressed, but pretty much said it was not what she had asked me to do. She was not aware that the technology existed to do what I did.
I don’t know if it is a miscommunication issue because I had shown her what I had been working on last week. She had even made the extra requirement of adding the capability of using web services within Excel - and this really made it extra hard on my part. For the rest of the day, it seemed hard to get anything done at work. My accomplishments seemed to be all for nothing and I started dragging. I even had a dream about unproductive work tonight.
When I do things that my mind is really heavily involved with, I always have this feeling like I shouldn’t be doing it in the way that I am. The problem is, I have a set of requirements that I don’t know how to accomplish otherwise. I know that I had been given this requirement. I guess it would help to sort of make a paper trail of some kind so that I can refer to when the requirement was given.
In other news, I purchased a bucket of Spice Drops.
