Recently, I made a mistake. I inadvertently double booked myself for two important events. Both events were scheduled long in advance and involved many other people. I don’t know what happened. Normally, I am pretty good at scheduling and checking to make sure there are no conflicts, this time however, I screwed up. When I found out about my mistake, it felt like I’d been punched in the gut. I felt nauseous, my heart sank into my stomach. Immediately, I sprung to action, notifying the people of one of the events of my error. I apologized profusely and asked for forgiveness for my stupidity. What happened next was unexpected.
