Keep making silly mistakes

I have been doing a year round internship, and I just switched to a new team last month.

Last week was closing and I made so many tiny mistakes… I did this second close more independently and my speed wasn’t good, I was slow.

I updated the wrong file bc they have the same names but different locations, I sent out an email for JULY when it was supposed to be JUNE.

I feel so so incompetent and stupid lately like I keep messing up. A lot of it is still new and I feel stupid even though I’m likely being hard on myself. It’s just super embarrassing.

Like I tried to even book a vacation day on teams, and I made it show up on their end wrong… like how does one even mess that up?😭😭

Tomorrow my manager is going to do an evaluation. They said don’t worry about messing up like these tiny mistakes since it’s my first time in corporate and it happens, you learn from mistakes but I feel like I’m so dumb. Pls help.

I’ve had an overwhelming year, I lost two family members including a parent, I still finished university, I have been working co op for them since Jan while also being in school. But they don’t know about my hardships with the grief and all… not that’s it’s an excuse or that corporate even cares but yeah.
