Feel largely disappointed with myself today.
The lack of foresight and the lapse in double checking our order. Wasted many people's times, just waiting around. It's unbelievable how so many eyeballs looked at the same quotation, and no one caught the misalignment.
I couldn't get over it.
An unforgivable mistake in my books.

I am glad I feel a little more comfortable with the big boss now.
His vision is clear, but I'm baffled at how we can make the change.
He is right, we are all protective of our teams and worry that automation risks our job.
I had that fear, more intensely before. but now... the headache from the project I am temporarily helping to cover is making me want to improve things.
Still can't believe he made a blanket statement about all PMOs being messy though. The leave log he said now has more structure was already something that existed, but the people was the problem -- they were not using it.
I figure there wasn't a point to repeat my thoughts; I've already told him once or twice before. We have to know how to pick our battles; and this isn't worth it.
Long week, long day, many thoughts

Why do we feed more inclined and motivated to help our friends than our family?
A question I find myself asking.
I often do not mind going beyond to help out a friend, but then I find it a hassle to extend the same patience at home.
Why are we like this?
Why AM I like this?
More recently, I started having these voices calling me out. Making me think twice before offering help. A voice calling me a fake, because I am only helping my friend but won't do the same for home.
I will do better.
First step to change is recognising the problems.
