Losing it

Did pretty well over the start of my first year. Got a lot of positive feedback, contributed to big projects, and built a good reputation. However, over the last few weeks, I feel like I'm slipping, messing up simple shit like comps outputs / footnotes again. Feel like haven't progressed at all, even when I know that's (probably) not true. Just so frustrated at myself + feel like I'm going to lose my positive reputation (not shooting for top bucket, just want to be at least mid you know). Would love any advice / commiserations here, or just appreciate you reading my vent. Fuck, wish I could just care less lol

Assuming you've been told this, but printing the book out and reviewing it as a physical copy is a great tool for catching errors.

 

Facilis corrupti placeat cum impedit est. Incidunt harum reiciendis suscipit rerum delectus. Debitis asperiores qui ea tempora veniam eum optio. Ut velit animi nemo nihil quia laboriosam quibusdam quo.
