I have been a tired, grumpy mess all week for some reason. Going to take tomorrow off I think. Made my first 'significant' mistake at work in 6 months on Wednesday - giving someone completely incorrect information about their account. It was noticed today and I had to fix it up. It's not like me to do that often. All the more reason to take tomorrow off. Boss already knows I've been feeling off this week so I think it's fair, especially given this error I've made.
Owning and fixing a mistake is all good. It's when people try to hide their mistakes that there is any real issue. Take the day. Hopefully your nervous system relaxes, resets, and you feel better.
Mistakes happen, theyβll understand. Itβs more about not making the same mistake often. Rest up and go back fresh after the long weekend.
Aw :(( I hope you feel better soon. Things happen.
Definitely rest up and regroup, so far it feels like this year has been all Mondays
hugs
