It's Like I Fucking Forgot How To Do My Job

Goddamn.  First time working in Third Department since "the changes," and I had it in my brain that I need to leave at a decent time.  That time was supposed to be a half-hour over.  With some of the stuff being allowed to be held over (even though I have reservations about that still), and, more importantly, a relatively light workload, I could do it.

But then I realized that I missed a rudimentary task, and I had to go into this other room to grab the forms in order to re-do them all.  That made me scared that I forgot to do this other thing, so I had to grab those forms from the other room to make sure I actually did do it (which I did).  And then I remembered that there were some other things I needed to do, and all told, that pushed me past 45 minutes over.

There are two very bad things wrong with that.  One, I kind of told my supervisor that I would help key once I got done with my stuff.  I thought I would get done with my stuff, but my inattention to doing my job prevented me from doing that stuff.  I could have stayed and did data entry for an extra-half hour, but I don't know if my boss would be happy if I stayed that late.  Better to take the hit for not doing what I sorta promised my supe I would do.  Two, even with all that said, I fucking forgot to do one thing, which is the very last thing I am supposed to do in The Third Department before I leave, something that has been fucking drilled into me since I first started training.  I fucking forgot to do that.  I was so discombobulated over what else I forgot to do and in a rush to do all the things I had to do before I needed to go at the time I told everyone I was going to go and worried over how I was going to explain that I was going to key when I didn't that I forgot to do this basic goddamn thing.

Oh, it'll be embarrassing for me to come into work today.
