    This doesn't count because it sort of did turn into a big deal but this one time I fudged up an order of business cards. My boss asked me to change the phone number on the design, and I misread his writing and typed the number in wrong. I sent the design to him for approval and he okayed it and I went and had them ordered. That was his bad, it was his writing that was weird and when I had him double check it he didn't pay attention. 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.

    re: all the college stuff

    I think it's hilarious that (for me anyways) in high school the teachers were always drilling nonsense like "YOU DIDNT FINISH THIS BY 11:00:00 AM?!?!?! This trout will NOT fly with your professors in college."

    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.

    I was only able to complete projects in high school and essays in college with some level of urgency needed. I couldn't do this with film projects though because that required more pre-planning. I remember many times a lot of students didn't finish things on time, so the teacher would give us all one more day. 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.
