Familiar stranger's thoughts

Somehow feel like a useless fellow today...perhaps always have been...:( Juz that it wasn't manifested to me earlier...

1stly, received an email this morning that an email i sent b4 leaving the office yesterday was in a wrong currency. I don't know why I am always so careless and assuming that things sent to me are in S$. The matter is actually a simple matter, if not for the fact that the email was sent to the CFO and the numbers furnished to the CEO.

In the afternoon, in the process of giving my immediate boss figures, I somehow informed her that it was a loss when it was actually a profit. Luckily, she had her logically sense on her and detected the mistake. Somehow, the blockhead between my ears was not working again....really wonder why it juz refused to work for such situations....at least the mistake was not reported upwards due to my sharp boss.

Today, I also discovered that I had accepted the figures provided to me at face value, without thinking and without doing a sanity check. It should have struck me that the figures given earlier and later were too different and hence raise the alarm. However, as usual, I just accepted the figures and reported them upwards....

Really hope that this lesson is well-learnt and this blockhead would learn to be more sharp in future...
