Last week I accidentally sent out a letter to the wrong person. One of the bosses had a fit, the other one seemed okay with it (and the letter was meant for his client, not the other guy's), though he brought it up the next day. If I hear *accuracy, accuracy, accuracy* one more time I will scream. Hope no co-workers Babble or they'll recognize that obnoxious phrase.
Anyway, I take any criticism very hard and instantly think I'll be fired or made miserable and forced to quit which has happened to me before.
What bosses don't get is that I am harder on myself than they can be on me, even if they inflict misery. I can inflict it harder. I am a pro at beating myself up.
I said I was sorry, but I feel like I have to be on guard. I checked the newspaper for ads. I am triple checking my work. I hate this. I can't handle making mistakes. I need to be perfect. See boring thread somewhere on psych board from last month for more on that old issue. Sigh.
