VINDICATED
I have never felt so right about something concerning my job since this morning. Being new at this company, I’ve been committing little mistakes here and there. Some people were forgiving enough and excused my little mistakes. However, I have this co-worker who feels that he is always right. He has been working with this company for more than 15 years and he felt infallible. One time I committed a huge mistake, he rubbed it in my face which really ticked me off.
This morning I felt vindicated when we argued about something and upon a quick check of the records, I was right. It was a huge, huge mistake on his part and if I would’ve been vicious enough, I would have rubbed it in. But that I didn’t do. I could only feel sorry for him but at the same time I felt good that this incident somehow lessened his arrogance and increased his respect for me.
There is still justice in this world.
