I was reprimanded by my supervisor. You see I work at a bank's process center and today I made a very big mistake. A coworker with seniority place document into the incoming mail for our very same department. The temp asked me during a hetic busy time because the task I was doing had a time deadline, stating that our coworker made a mistake in placing it in the incoming mail, so I told her place it in the outbox. Well she did and it was return back to us today. So I finally opened it and looked over the documents and asked my coworker who trained me in the task I'm doing now, what are these documents, even though they look like the ones I do in the morning. She told me give to supervisor. So I placed them on the desk only to have the supervisor coming toward me and my coworker who trained me and asked who placed them. Well I responded I did, and my sup said "You know that these document should have been on my desk yesterday where I can check if the accounts have been debited. Now it is too late. I hope the banks don't get a lose, or else this will be big, and someone will have to do alot of explaining. You need to think outside the box and come to me" - then she left.

I realize something, I can't "think outside the box" when I'm constrant by rules. I tend to be more freer in my thinking and ideals when I have less rules surrounding me. Is anyone there feel the same. I feel as if I should be my own boss or something, because I have notice that when there are also many protocols, rules, etc. it tends to hinder me. I wonder if I am just dumb or is there something to this?

I have some issues with this, too, and I am definitely not dumb. :D I was tested and found to be moderately gifted, with learning disabilities. That might be your issue or it might not, but I don't think given your description that it was an obvious mistake (as opposed to a mistake with big consequences.) I wouldn't worry too much about this one incident, but if you've noticed a pattern, and it bothers you, why not see a professional and get some advice?

ADDers are not sheeple. We're visionaries, leaders, artists, and other subtypes that exist to break the mold. Not everyone is meant to work in the grey flannel world of banking. I used to work in IT shops that were straight out of "Office Space". Screw the TPS reports, I'd rather be an independent web developer than try to struggle in some corporate job.
