An exercise in humility

Tonight at work, I (along with a coworker) managed to execute a pretty decent fuck-up.

Even though the circumstances (busiest day of the year, time constraint, pressure, and a lack of communication) were against us, we overlooked something that lead to a huge inconvenience. I felt stupid and humiliated - because well, when you pride yourself on being a person of intellect it just blows when you screw anything up.

I've always been an advocate of those "human moments" that we all have - however, I still feel as if we all need to be a little more humble about our lot in life.

From this day forward, I will work harder on pardoning others for mishaps that I would've otherwise frowned upon.
