I've done things like that before. I accidentally nuked our application server once, which caused 3 hour outage in service. Things like that happen.

No, not in this world. Bosses are around to piss and moan about their staff and sign the review form for raises.

Agreed!

EVERYONE makes mistakes (to varying degrees of frequency and scope, but that is not important in this discussion ;) ). The true measure of someone's character is how they deal with their mistakes. Taking RESPONSIBILTY, examining why it happened and LEARNING from your mistakes is the way to go. In this respect, failure can be transformed from a negative experience into a positive future change (something that SHOULD be taught in schools [anaylzing ones failures and LEARNING how not to repeat them] instead of pretending they don't matter to boost a child's self-esteem artificially!)

*EDIT* - See..... I made one and had to edit the post because my keyboard skills are lacking and I am too impatient to fully proofread and spell-check ;)

Well said.

it is not a "minor" mistake here. due to the nature of our business, if our emails do not go out, lives could be put in danger.

I SQLd incorrectly once and sent 2000 emails to one person instead of just a handful. Keep your head up. ;)

People who don't make mistakes at work are those that do nothing.



I'm just really good at covering my ass before anyone finds my mistakes. ;)

I am graduating from massage school on 19 Dec. I cant wait to build my practice on the side and hopefully in a few years match my income here and be able to quit.

Heh, nice plan ;)
