Not well liked today...

I left work early yesterday (I lied and said it was my sister's bday and we were going out to dinner --  reality was that she was coming over to enjoy tasty German dinner at Papa's and I wanted to enjoy a meal with the family).  I thought I had gotten everything for my section of the industry report completed before I left, but it turns out I accidently did one thing wrong and something else incorrectly.  The two girls/ladies that I work with had to not only finish up what they were doing for their companies, but correct my errors, keeping them here very late.  They sent me a message on the blackberry last night, so I knew that I had screwed up, but not to what extent.

Once I spoke to my boss and learned the extent of what happened, I apologized and offered to buy them lunch as retribution for them having stayed until after 11pm (I left at 6:30pm, which is considered extremely early around here).  This morning, one of them is giving me the cold shoulder, which is disappointing since it is my last day. 

So, I plan on resigning today, actually, I was going to do it this morning.... now, I am going to wait until after lunch so I can treat them.  It really stinks that I am leaving on such a sour note though.  It is going to look like I was being a slacker yesterday because I was alredy halfway out the door when that really wasn't the case at all. I had been working these past two weeks as if I wasn't out the door and I was really working to keep up with my responsibilities as much as I wasn't thrilled with the workload... now it feels like that was all for nothing given my screw-up last night.  

I guess it shouldn't really matter since our paths are unlikely to cross again, but I was trying to leave on good terms and it doesn't look like that is going to be the case....  I left my last job on the best of terms and it was my intention to do the same here.  Ya never know when you may be working somewhere again -- sooner than you may think.  :-)
