Venting - Day 15 Month 9

One of my biggest frustrations at work is that I often know what I need to do but due to inexperience, I skip a few steps in the due process.

 

For example - we prepared a proposal a few months ago to instigate a necessary change to a contract. And after a lengthy tug of war between the client and contractor, they have settled on the proposed solutions and made a final decision.

 

This is good right?

 

The problem is that only now it occurs to me (at the Client's final decision communication) to check the contract paperwork for a template for making changes to the contract. It appears that finalising this change is letter number 5 in the process of Making Changes to the Contract 101. The Fifth Letter!

 

This means that I skipped 4 prior steps in the process - well we went through the correct motions but failed to number and categorise and word and reference the communication properly. Therefore I will have to fabricate no wait, manufacture, no wait, engineer :) ... the missing information and references in  this letter number five (which will in reality be letter number one)

 

I am swimming in unknown water again today - still looking for shore of the Beach called I-Know-What-I-am-Doing.
 
I do however suspect there aren't many people there...
