Give me an example of a time when you weren’t able to deal successfully with a problem.?

This is one of those stories without a happy ending. I usually have a planned schedule for every step of a project. There was a time however when my plan was not as well thought out as usual, and it started to fall apart. I hadn’t allowed extra time for problems or emergencies. I had cut it too close to begin with, and of course this is the time my computer chose to crash. It was chaotic for a while until I called and located a computer that wasn’t being used for a few days. I was able to retrieve most of my data, and I did complete the job. Unfortunately,my best efforts and resourcefulness didn’t kick in quick enough, so I missed the deadline, but I learned a valuable lesson in the process. That hasn’t happened to me again.
