I screwed up at work today pretty bad. I mean, no one died, but it was a pretty big mistake. Obviously not on purpose, but it really doesn't make me feel any better. I know that I'm harder on myself than anyone else would be...but I still can't help beating myself up over it. I hate making mistakes, not that anyone loves making them. And in this day and age of email and blogs and the internet your mistakes can really come back to haunt you.
I was researching a local company recently and the President, back in 2001, sent a real nasty-gram to his management team saying all kinds of foolish things and making stupid threats if productivity didn't increase - his measurement for this was how full the parking lot was before and after formal work hours. Well, his email is public knowledge now. As a matter a fact, it is currently being used as a case study at a Florida university - I found all of this out just by going on Google.
Used to be your mistakes faded away, now they could live on out on the internet on someone's blog, myspace page or facebook page.

Well, at least the stupid stuff we did in high school is safe. Unless someone finds our big hair pics...
All the more reason to Google yourself just in case. :)
