Did you ever notice?

That when people wait until the last minute to do something, they almost always forget to double-check their work for errors?

I had to post assignments for this weeks classes by Thursday of last week. I got one assignment on Friday, and posted it. The other assignment I didn't get until Monday.

Both of them contained errors.

I have been trying for 22 years to get people to get things to me BEFORE the deadline so that there's time to double (and in come cases, triple) check the work.


You'd think that by now either someone would listen to me, or I'd realize that I'm talking to a brick wall....

1. Good luck with that

MissMillie! I have been trying to get directors to get info. to me on a timely basis too. But for some reason, everyone waits till the last minute. Then I have to scramble and make it happen - and it better be successful too! Very frustrating!

2. One thing is for sure

I will not assume that the people giving me this material have checked it for errors. I thought since it came from another administrative assistant, that she would have checked it for errors.

That was a terrible assumption on my part.
