But then when the mistake was caught and I fixed it, for some stupid reason I didn't delete the older typo'd version. I kept both. Guess which one I sent off to the printing company? It was a $100 mistake and boy did I get a lecture for that one :(
There I was thinking it was a big deal. Is $100 that big a deal for your company? Honestly? Bah.
I am constantly stressing that all of my little mistakes will actually be big deals.
Most recently, our kitchen floors were set to be sealed and my boss is a huge stickler for everything to be perfect - ie, one little inch of that floor that gets smudged before it dries will be the end of the world.
People work late and come in early and use the kitchen at all hours of the day. I forgot to put up signs saying STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN smurfHEADS SO THESE FLOORS CAN DRY to keep people out, and woke up at about 2am freaking out and and couldn't go back to sleep. I thought of just going to the office to put up the signs so my boss would see that I tried but that didn't sound like a great idea at 2am, and what if they were already messed up? So I just layed awake and essentially tortured myself for hours worrying about it.
tdlr; I made a huge deal out of it in my head for no reason because the floors were fine. Had anyone messed them up, though, I would have been in a world of hurt.
Made some mistakes at work today :shobon:
Just smile and charm them.Quote:

I'm pretty sure I was never once denied a request for an extension in college, and almost all of them were obtained by a last minute email.
We've had no income besides investments from the President of the company, so it kinda is xDQuote:

Sometimes people are just unrealistic about deadlines and sometimes we are just procrastinating little trouts.
One time I lost my unlimited metro card for work like a silly sally, but the receipt was kept and there's insurance on 30 day cards, so my boss was able to get his money back. The rest of the things I've had to pay for can be mostly covered through T&E reports. :monster:
