I am taking a break and trying to relax from this Guide book that will need to be printed, published and published on our website. This guide will be deliver to all our schools in the district. Last year was a FIASCO!!!! We had wrong information, poor grammar, typos...etc. MIND you, we proof everything......Well, long story short.....our department didn't look too good behind that. My boss was embarrassed as well as the whole department. I took it harder than anyone else...mainly because I had to assemble information for various sources and NOTHING was correct. I had been with the department only a few weeks and I felt it gave them an impression that I was not as good as I know I am.
The person I was helping out was/and is an immature, control, attention getter freak......she would bitch and moan about having too much work, but if something was to be removed from her desk, she would make an excuse up why she needed to keep it. She didn't give me alot information needed to do the book correctly. Well, that was last year and this is a NEW YEAR!!!
I am working longer hours, keeping edits in a structure format and really pulling things in. Last year was so stressful, but this year is even more because we are setting a high standard to have this publication FLAWLESS!!!!!!
Errors and mistakes are not an OPTION!!! It must be perfect......it will be PERFECT, MISTER!!! LOL...okay....I am down back to earth in the real world. I realize that there will be human error, but it want all to be very minor. I just had a co-work test me about some changes on one of the documents. We do need people who are good proofers, grammarically correct, but have a OPEN mind that we do not need to be condenscending!!!! My department has that so bad!! Okay....WOOOOO-SAAAAA!!!!
Alright, it's back to the grind!
