not learning from mistakes

Tweet

I am so tired, or I should say burn-out already. For the past two weeks, I was not able to visit MyLot due to various reports that we need to prepare for the upcoming National 1st Semester Assessment Conference of our Department. Actually, an activity such as this is not new to us, in fact we conduct conferences for about four to six times a year, not to mention other small conferences in our provincial level. But what is so tiring about report preparation especially when you are in charge in consolidation is that, as you evaluate various reports, you would find errors and discrepancies that you have observed several times in several months. My God what happen to those people who prepared these reports? Why they commit the same mistakes all the time. I feel so bad about this, not actually for those people who are doing those reports, but also for myself. I feel so bad and so sad that I draw towards me the blame. Am I not an effective office worker? Why do these people seem not to get my point. Why do they make the same mistakes with their reports? I have opened up these issue with some of my close officemates and to our superior also. I asked them if I do not really made myself clear to those, and all of them would say that there's nothing wrong with me, there's nothing wrong with how I deal with these people, in fact they admire me for being so patient explaining, helping and supporting these people. They even told me not to blame myself because it is not I but them that are not effective. Majority of our field people who are in charge in report preparation are good enough, and those ineffective ones are just a few. These people have attitude problem towards work. That's where the problem lies. Even though how comforting those words are, for me I still feel bad, I hope i could still find ways to reach out to those people and make them realize and understand that in everything they do, their work is the reflection of who and what they are.
