This is one thing that I don’t like about myself. I can’t get over with something I fucked up. I will always think of it and stressed myself on it until someone will tell me that things will be ok.
Few hours ago, I had a chat with one of our clients and he inquired me if we finished the caching of an online system over the weekend. I told him that we were not yet done. We were finishing things in an hour or so. Then, he suddenly told me that that was a big mistake because Hooman, one of the clients, of this account promised them to finish everything by Sunday. And we were not able to finish it because we did not treat this side task as an urgent matter. Hooman told me to finish things by Sunday 6 pm, but we did not able to do it. The only mistake I did was that I did not inform Hooman last Sunday that we weren’t able to finish it and we continued working on it today.
To my desperation to finish it, I instructed 4 people to finish the task with the estimated one hour to accomplish everything. Unknown to me, the clients were simultaneously using the program for sale presentation to their clients and what we were doing with the system terribly affected the system and their presentation. Everything was impossibly slow, according to one of the client who was doing the presentation.
I did a terrible and lousy decision today and I feel bad about it. I should not have told them to continue the task. I should not have told them that we were not yet done. But at least I had been honest to them. My intention was good but it happened in the wrong time.
I can’t simply let go of this fucked-up decision. It is tormenting me until now.
How I wish I can bring back time.
