mental mistakes - where do you fall?

mostly 2, although I can slide into 3 if I feel like my mistake has a negative impact on someone in my life

i mistake from one mistake to another and no longer care, life is a series of mistakes

like just then, i tried to vote in the poll a second time. forget i had just voted. add +1 to the mistake meter

your second vote counts on the metaphysical plane

Somewhere between 1 and 2 but the condition others mentioned above, about randomly remembering fuckups from high school or five years ago or whenever else, definitely applies as well.

my brain loves to show me mistakes i made when i was like 13 at random times. and all ages between 13 and now.

My personal #1 goal at any job I've worked at in my adult life is to learn exactly how to correct any mistakes I (and often those whose jobs are adjacent to mine) might make in a day. Mistakes are unavoidable and human but they seldom need to be the end of the world. Like people at my job freak out when mistakes happen but I just calmly roll up my sleeves and put things back in their place.

I wish I could figure out how to better port that skill over to my non-work life, where mistakes are more often a sign of what a goddamn stupid idiot I am.

what about jobs where mistakes are not easily corrected?

think about THAT!

i did brain surgery on a guy once and then realized he was there to have his appendix taken out so I had to put his brain back but but a bunch of us had been playing hockey with it first so he was dumber than before

but that guy was probably happier as a result

he was until he died 5 minutes later

then he died happy! what more could any of us wish for?

to the op - just confirmation of what i already believe. working on it ... wish the process was faster.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

1. Apologize repeatedly and in detail so everyone knows I know I made a mistake
2. Remember the mistake forever

3. Make same mistake week later

It used to be 3, now it's 1. Yay Sertraline.
