Depressed
I'm just about ready to throw my PC out the window. It's supposed to be my off day today, but I'm working anyway from home editing what's been entered by my coworkers online, and it's just driving me crazy.
People much older and with more qualifications than me (at least, on paper) make unbelievably clumsy and idiotic mistakes, I just don't know what to do with them. I'm very tempted to just leave their mistakes where they are for our Quality Assessment team to find and report, because I don't feel like I'm being appreciated enough.
But if I do do that, then all hell will break loose and our department will take the heat, because the big suites expect perfection. But it's my off day, for crying out loud! I shouldn't have to deal with this! Once, just once before, I decided to let it go, to let them deal with their own mistakes, because I shouldn't be working on the weekend, and it was like a bomb went off the next day when I came into the office.
…
I'm going to take a break before finishing this stuff. But seriously, I'm sick and tired of cleaning up after those who think they know better.

how irritating...
If this is an ongoing issue, is there a way to bring it to someone's attention? Not in a bitchy way, but in an "improve our teamwork and QA" way?
Breathe. Good luck.
I think I'm going to have to..
Because if I don't, I'm going to end up with an ulcer. Will see what happens tomorrow morning. Will have a talk with my boss. Sheesh.
Thanks for the advice, Scarlett.

Take a little break, and re-group.
I hope things are better by the time you read this. It'll turn out the way it way meant to be.. Just do YOUR best, and not SOMEONE ELSE'S best. I'll send some positive feelings your way.
Epiphany
You're totally right, Lark! I shouldn't have to clean up after everyone! None of them do me any favors, and when I cover for them, it just looks like they did the job themselves and I don't get any credit for anything, because I never mention it. It's my off today, I'm not going to lift a finger. Let them deal with their own mess.
:*
Those positive feelings have done thier thing :)

Had an unscheduled 2hr nap..and had guests, who will be sleeping over, so I need to tick off as many things on my list as soon as I can before they come over, or I'll never get anything done.

My pile is so big, it took me 3.5 hrs last night just to FIND my W2 form. And it wasn't even in the pile, it was in a mini-pile in my bedroom. Oy.
Lark's CI 8:30am (and another at 2:30pm)
Really tired, so I'm going to try a nap after my morning routine. Didn't sleep enough, I guess.
Today:
(X)morning routine
(X)eat workshop
(X)focus on project A
(X)visit friend tonight
I'm doing MUCH better than I thought today, but I'm sure I'll get over it! I hope everyone else is doing okay.
showered and dressed, but...
...I'm now watching TV. The migraine is gone and I'm feeling sleepy, but now it's too late to go back to sleep. I'm watching a recording of "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report". I should be working on my pile. I'm so tired.

Migraines are such a curse to live with. You feeling any better, Pro? Hope you managed alright. One tip for the future: when very sleepy, do something you enjoy a lot; will make you forget your sleepiness for a while.
Tell us how things went.
