mental mistakes - where do you fall?

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.

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.

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