"What was the worst thing you have done to embarrass yourself in your working life?"
People A:"I dropped while promoting a shoe."
People B:"I managed to sell only 3 laptops while others managed to sell 20+ at PC Fair."
People C:"I... don't know."
LOL, and the People C was no other than my father.
I'm guessing there's too many he couldn't contained it, thus forgetting them. =p
At any rate, it would very much nicer not to remember, because it's only going to hold you back.
So what if a mistake you made caused you embarrassment?
So what if people's perception towards you went downhill, worse than before?
Do they know the true you?
It's annoying to say something that you meant it one way and other people take it as another.
Today at work I was supposed to send an "urgent" file to Boss.
Alright I was lazy and so the only thing I could come up with right away was, I am scared I will get lost (since I'm a newcomer and never been to Damansara Height from the place I am working at, I assumed it would be a good excuse.) plus there's still plenty more of work me and one of my colleagues have yet to finish, so I thought it would be nice to help out.
After a whole thoughtful time for an excuse to be lazy, I totally forgot about the "urgent" file I was supposed to send, until when I reached back to the main office at KL where my boss was waiting, to slaughter me.
Boss:"So you cannot send me the urgent file?"
Me:(thinking) Uh oh...
Boss:"Wani (my "awesome" colleague) say you are scared to take the taxi by your own and come ah?"
Me:"Huh? (No choice, have to stick with the lame excuse) Yeah I was afraid I would get lost.
This isn't the part that had me overwhelmed to blog right now.
Scolding my girlfriend for my mistake is.
For the record, my boss is a wife to a lawyer whom yet to reach the age of maturity...
because if she's reached there, she should know that a mistake should be dealt with the doer and not the one who has a friendship/relationship with the doer.
Anyway, rant is over.
