Your user should include your user.id in the name of the table, unless she has created a synonym.

e.g., if I wanted to update the emp table, owned by scott, I'd do all the grant statements - or get the DBA to do them, just as you have. But then, I'd either type something like

update scott.emp
set comm=0 where comm is null;

or I'd create a synonym
create synonym emp1 for scott.emp;
and then refer to the table as emp1

Or, as DBA, (I think), you can create a public synonym for your table, and everyone can forget about adding your user.id.
