The last three weeks of work has been anything but fun. A lack of actual marketing projects and a realization that I really suck at secretarial work has made me dread going to work. Things only got worse when thing I got blamed for things that were out of my control.
Due to a database error, entries that I have been entering in have been disappearing. This created the illusion that I was fucking up really badly and also not doing my work. Since I already sucked at secretary work, the matter of disappearing DVD orders prompted the secretary to tell my boss that I was not doing my job. Despite my explanation that it was the databases fault and that I had indeed entered in those records, the secretary still insisted it was my fault. She reasoned that I had too many windows open and that was why my computer was messing up. As you can imagined, that was not a good day at work.
Things only got worse when my boss asked me for those youtube video comments that I was supposed to be logging. She asked me why there were so few, and well I could not really answer her because all of them disappeared. I could see that she was giving me the benefit of the doubt about whether I was doing my job, but after half an hour of trying to find them and failing, I was beginning to believe her too.
Flash forward to today. After another set of DVD orders disappeared from the database, I finally spoke to our tech woman about it. What we discovered was that my entries were indeed in the database, they were just not being indexed correctly so nobody could find them. I suppressed my urge to yell out "I told you so" to the secretary.
Needless to say, work today was great.
