Yesterday I made a big mistake at work...
Without getting into too many details, I sent out flyers on Monday that I had produced announcing a winter class at a rather large school(about 800 kids). Yesterday my boss noticed they have the wrong time on them. Oops.
After speaking to the school secretary this morning, I learned that, since this is a school that LOVES Mad Science and ALWAYS fills two classes, they already sent the flyers home on Tuesday. Oops.
While my boss was clearly upset by this, she certainly didn't take it out on me in the form of scolding or a lecture. She simply said there's always one that gets away from you, and reminded me how much the details matter in this job.
So tonight I'm thankful for a boss who can see that people make mistakes, and the easiest thing to do is get solution-minded. Fix it, and move on. Learn from the mistake so it doesn't happen again. Thanks, Linda!
