The hardest part of my job is worrying about messing up. The design that I work with is incredibly intricate. But there was an instance where I had made a tiny, tiny, tiny little error on one of the programs with a little piece of data. I had messed up a decimal point and it ruined my entire design, and when I got it out, I was all ready to send it down to lens fabrication to be made and I realized, one decimal point ruined this entire design. If they had put it in production, it would have been two weeks before they could have realized the mistake and taken it off and redone it and done testing and all these people would have had to come in and someone would have had to pay for the hours and the redoing of the lens, and I realized, I affect a lot of people.
And there was another time when I made a small mistake and I didn't catch it, and that one actually went into production and it was something that had to be a rush and they came back and said, this is your fault. And I said, oh, my ... I felt horrible ... I had only been there three or four months. I thought they were going to scream and yell at me, and instead they yelled at the person who trained me. I realized that, you know, because I am an associate engineer and there's somebody training me, that they're accountable right now while I'm in training. And since I am really fond of this particular person, I made, you know, an extra special effort not to mess up anymore because I didn't want him getting yelled at for my mistakes.
