Okay, so I have a co-worker who is a ticking time bomb. She's really nice, really sweet, a gamer, and has a lot of similar interests to me.
We went to an LED consortium together and they called us the "__[company]__ Twins" because, y'know, there we were, two early-twenties girls giggling in the corner among all these other crusty old lighting people.
Anyway.
She gets flustered SO EASILY. Like, anything will -set- -her- -off.- And I love her to death, but she needs to learn to chillax.
My favorite example is the time she made a mistake on one of her orders. Now, we here at LED COMPANY have a doublecheck system, where once we complete an order, we print it out and then someone else checks it, initials it, and puts it in the tray.
She put the wrong color rank (subdivision of color within the spectrum we offer - like the wrong shade between two shades of green) on a PO.
The checker didn't catch it.
The shipment goes out, the customer calls asking for an RMA, AND THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT COMES TO AN END.
When she found out she'd made a mistake, she FREAKED. I remember her standing in the middle of the 4-man cubicle, order clenched in her fist, and tearfully exclaiming, "WHO CHECKED THIS ORDER!?"
Uh, sorry hon, but if you missed the mistake, you can't give anyone that hard of a time for missing it either. The fact of the matter is you made the mistake. It isn't a big deal; mistakes happen; just make it better and move on, y'know?
Oiiii... -_-
