Oh Boy, did I ever screw up at work today!!! I'm working in an accounting department. They have me doing both accounts payable and accounts receivable right now due to one person being gone. So, I'm dealing with a ton of different accounts, computer programs/screens, filing systems, etc. and I've only been working at this place for three weeks. Up until today all has gone well & I haven't messed anything up. Unfortunately, today happened. I made a really big boo-boo.
I deposited $175,000 into the WRONG bank account.
I knew what I'd done the second I hit the confirm button & a very loud "SHIT!" escaped from my mouth. Unfortunately, there was no way to instantly undo it. It's fixable, but it's going to take three people working on transferring the money back to where it's supposed to be & a couple of days to actually get it done. Lucky for me, my new co-workers think it's kind of funny and have assured me it's nothing they all haven't managed to do before... just never with that much money. I'm hoping when the boss comes in tomorrow that she has the same attitude. I like this job & there is a good chance of it becoming a permanent situation (right now it's a temporary assignment). Although, I'm pretty sure they're gonna be wanting me to deposit the money to the correct accounts before they hire me permanently.
