Unfortunate event

Yeah. I know it’s been too long of not posting anything. I got busy, okay? Let me just say my stories then…

My two seniors was on an outside of the country trip then. Since there were just 6 of us in a team, so the four of us were left in the office to do the never-ending tasks. Plus on that week was the exhibit where we have to display the new technology we have. UNFORTUNATELY (t’was suppose to be fortunate because I was entrusted with a project but I wasn’t proud of the outcome), I was assigned to setup the voip (‘hello, telephone?’ kind’ve thing over the internet). Things were working just fine with the setup in the office, during testings. I was so confident about it. So what I just had to do then was to transfer the setup on the venue of the exhibit. And there’s also this other thing I was tasked to take over. I wasn’t so confident about that, I didn’t know much about it. Yet it has to be included in the exhibit and I had to know all that I can about that thingy.

Then the day came. Everybody was so busy attending to their assigned tasks. As I was doing mine. My budz helped me too as it was difficult walking and running around the place wearing high-heeled sandals and skirt. I set it up. Connected the cables, plugged in to the system, turned on the units, run the server, set the configuration and all. Then it didn’t work. As in not even one unit worked. None of the ip phones can get a dial tone. No, nothing! Checked everything again, over and over. (Hearing side comments from the big boss in the background. Duh! So annoying.) Trace all the possible cause of trouble, none worked. Dam*! I was so frustrated. I even contacted my senior and asked for anything he know how to fix it. All he has told me, I’ve done already. As in all that I know about it. Plus the big boss almost to scold me. Grrr! I felt so stupid. If it wasn’t for the other techs who were comforting me, I would’ve cried out loud.

The next day of the exhibit, I got a little sicky and didn’t make it to work. My other team mate was assigned to manage on the exhibit that day so he checked the stuff. He was able to make it work but it wasn’t stable. I felt like it was all my fault that it didn’t work fine. And that other thing I wasn’t sure about? It worked just fine. It didn’t give me a problem or anything.

*sigh*

That project made me feel so little about myself when it comes to work. It was all I was working for over the last few months and I didn’t make it to the final. It’s the feeling that you’re never gonna be good at anything. And there was no other way I’d make up for that:(
