LOL, no one is perfect. I make mistakes at work (sometimes). The boss knows that. But, instead of taking the usual "try to make up an excuse" road, when I screw up, I say so. I've told the boss more than once when he asked how something happened that, "I forgot about it" or "It's my fault". Been working for him for over 10 years. I still remember the first time he heard me say that (LOL)...the look on his face as he expected a bunch of bull**** excuses. Now, I think, he can depend on me when I give a real excuse...and know it isn't just crap. 'Cause he knows I'll level with him if it was my fault. Though it may not be the greatest way to conduct one's career, I think he appreciates knowing he can depend on the truth.
