But,I've done everything correct.
Man... working with other people can be qiute a challenge.Even if you have a system for doing so. Just so you know I am a courier. I work with a local delivery service. Sometimes I work seven days a week. As simple as the concept of picking up items at one address and dropping an item(s) off at another address, we still have issues.
The other day I was on time and all my parts got to the right store and to the right people,so I thought. I left that store with complete confidence- all is good! Yes!!! The customers were happy and so was I. That was yetserday. This morning I get to work and my manager was telling me that that exact same customer called and said they did get the items in question. She asked who did I give the items to? After giving her a generic description of who this person was, they finally contacted the right person and they agreed, yes they did receive the items in qurestion.
Yes I did everything correct and still there was drama.
So what are you supposed to do in that particular scnerio? No matter if all goes correct or all falls apart, I still have to remember a few key items
1) Follow the plan as closely as possible.
2) Never assume others are on the same page as you. Even if all parties verify in writing and sign in triplicate.
3) If you have done your part keep your cool and answer all their radundant questions as nice as possible.
4) None of us are perfect no matter how detailed we feel we are.
Thanks for your comment(s)

So true! We strive for perfection but sometimes fall short.
Too bad others can undermine all our good work.
Deep breath and just move on.
Have a great weekend.

Good Morning Tony,
That must have been frustrating to encounter this problem when you were sure you had done everything right. I am happy it got all sorted in the end and you kept your cool.

The way our faces are different so people can not be satisfied. Have some colleagues like then....lol. They look for people to throw their frustration on. I like to keep the cool personality. thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I've just gotta say your headline made me do a big LOL! :D
And you're right tho, NONE of us are perfect. We just do the best that we can. :)
Good post, I used to be a courier myself so understand your post.
Keeping calm in all situations is the key to success.
